warming up the system


Wondering what would be the average and adequate timing for warming up an amp( tube or solid state) and break in period of speakers or cables?

Sounds great after “on” for 20-24 hours, also on and warming up are the preamp, CD player. 
 After 40 hours, the difference is astounding, there is a laserbeam 10 feet wide wall of sound, where the vocals, and especially the midrange and small 6.5” woofers, mesh perfectly and still give me goosebumps, on arms, and I love when my head tingles!!

 If it’s snake oil, it’s very good snake oil!

 Speakers took about 300 hours to relax and really shine, a lot of people don’t allow break in for speakers…

I waited the manufacturer recommended break in period, and I was rewarded greatly!
