Do Interconnects need to "warm up"?

My system is left on most of the time and sometimes on standby. I noticed that when I first start to listen the sound is a bit bright. All of my IC's are balanced and single ended Silver Streaks, the components are Krell. It seems to take almost a half hour before the system seems to calm down where it then sounds smooth and sweet. So I was wondering, is it possible that IC's may need to warm up as some equipment does - your thoughts? Thanks!

very funny Audiofeil:)

Break in, in some cases yes, warm up? not in my experience, probably the electronics. Funny thing about that phenomenon as well, some electronics it is quite obvious there is a warm-up period, ARC amps for instance. So far as my Berning amp I don't notice this at all.
