bryston warm up time

I bought a used Bryston amp about two months ago and noticed that it taked about 15 min to warm up. At first it sounds fuzzy and distorted. When it warms up it sounds as sweet as it should. I was wondering if this is normal or a sign that it should be looked at? The amp is from about the mid 90's

Thanks for your imput

I used Bryston for years and found that they are best left on or warm them up for about 10 minutes before you use them. I would check your speaker connections just to make sure they are tight.

One other thing to think about, do you have your amp plugged into a power conditioner? If so, I would recommend you plug it directly into the wall outlet. This makes a big difference. I did not think it would but it did. I also thought buying a better power cord than the Bryston helped as well. You do not have to spend a fortune to get a big improvement.
