Why does it take so many hours to brea in arc preamps and amps?


I recently purchased a like new ARC 5 SE pre amp.  The unit had less than 200 hours on it.  Everything I have read states that ARC preamps take up to 600 hours to fully break in.  Why is this so and what improvements can I expect to hear as the unit accrues hours?

just show measurements that demonstrate a change after burn in then i'll be a believer.
you're telling me that sophisticated measuring equipment wouldnt show a change to demonstrate what you are describing as bloom or whatever audiophile terminology you want to use?
