How long it take before your system/amps sound


...the best. My system sounds the best after 12 hours of playing. I didn't realize this until I inadvertently left my system on overnight. I was surprised how much better it sounded compared having the system on for an hour or two. I have tube DAC and amps, which probably are the reason for long warm up. His really surprised me.

For me between 6 min and 1 hr. I have a tube integrated and it takes about 6 min for the tubes to get the bias up. After an hour they are fully warmed up. The difference between the 6 min mark and 1 hr is hardly noticeable.
My amps run Class A so leaving them on 24/7 is out of the question and a waste of electricity. 2 hours on and they are at their best. Still sound good after only 1/2 hr. Pass Labs XA series.
