How long daes it take your gear to warm up?

Assuming that one turns off/on the audio equipment every day. How long does it take for your gear to perform as it best after a cold start? I ask because my Rotels RA-1090 need about 2 hr to really shine, otherwise the highs are ear piercing and the bass notes lack some punch. Any of you have to go through a similar time of warm up period?

My tube amp/pre takes about 30-45 minutes to shine. The effect is pretty noticeable too, during that time.

My tube headphone amp takes about the same amount of time, maybe a hair less, to sounds its best.
