Transistors operating characteristics change with temperature.
Presumably the device was optimized and measured at steady-state on, because if you're in a lab you have to keep it on.
The manual on my PS Audio C-100 says to keep it on.
Generally with it and my previous transistor amplifier I noticed a break-in coming from a cold period for about 15 minutes.
