Better sounding after 1 hour


I noticed that after 1 hour my Cayin A-50T tube integrated amplifier sounds more open and dynamic. Is this a particular characteristic of tube amps?

Years ago when I got my Rogue Cronus Magnum, I couldn't wait more than 15 minutes for it to warm up the first time i used it. We started spinning tunes and it was mediocre at best. About 10 minutes later it opened up to the point I was practically in tears. I can't imagine what it's like for these people with much higher end gear. Yes, tubes do that.
