System warmup?

Why does it take 15-20 min. of play before system sounds best when everything is broken-in and all components are always on, not even standby?

I'm my case however, it may be more the "Human Factor" as Onhwy61 points out. My ass needs to settle in the chair before my ears work properly and my mind gets into listen mode.

Once it is on for a while and warms up the current runs a little bit smoother. My system is the same way. It sounds kinda crappy when it is just turned on. It also sounds crappy after 20 minuits of use, but slightly less crappy. upgrade bug upgrade bug upgrade bug
