Tube amp warm up

Just bought the wonderful sounding TAD-60. Is there a warm up period for tube amps after turn on?

I bought a 2 year old tube amp that hadn't been used for almost three months. It took a number of hours to sound it's best but now sounds superb after 10-15 min of being turned on. Wonder what the technical reasons are for it not sounding its best after being 'on the shelf' for 3 months?

Also, have you ever heard that the more use transformers get, the better they sound? I seem to remember hearing or reading that many years ago but it doesn't make any sense to me.
