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?

My old Rowland 7M monoblock furnaces take about 8 hours of playing time to stabilize sonically and yield their best when starting from standby. . . . more if you turn them on from totally off-cold. Current cool-running JRDG 312 takes longer than 7M. . . couple hrs playing after idling in ON position overnight; a day when bringing online from idle; couple of days when starting it from long off-cold. . . . admittedly, I am anally retentive. . . or delusional as some may suggest.
