Why does it take so many hours to brea in arc preamps and amps?

I recently purchased a like new ARC 5 SE pre amp.  The unit had less than 200 hours on it.  Everything I have read states that ARC preamps take up to 600 hours to fully break in.  Why is this so and what improvements can I expect to hear as the unit accrues hours?

Basically to make you think about it for full 600 hours till you realize...

perhaps whoever recommends 600 hours break-in to any component except i guess car or boat, definitely doin' some substance abuse...
it might be either mushrooms or lsd.

rsv4, one lie is too many and there are many. some lies will and some won't be remembered and that's where the trick is.
