OK, guys, I know this is sounds like a weird question, but lets’ not attack the replies, or even the author, until we’ve seen informed replies. This kind of judgementalism is really not what I was looking for when I posted.
Not an attack at all, maybe to the manufacturers if they create an amp with a 48 hour warm up time to sound good.
I have heard from dealers that they can hear a difference in the sound of amplifiers that had been powered off when the store was closed for a few days and that they return to optimal after 48hrs.
This begs the question- how does optimal compare to our usual "startup" period when it starts to sound good? My amp and system sounds great after 20 to 45 minutes or so- whether tube, class AB or Class D. I am completely satisfied with the sound after that.
Since I have never left electronics on longer than 12 hours or so- I do not and probably will not ever experience a 48 hour warmup. Is the original question 48 hours to sound good?
