The SS amp that changed the most, sounding better over time, was my Odyssey Stratos. My Pass X150.5 was a better sounding amp overall but it too benefited from being powered ON for 30 minutes or more.According to the Pass Labs owner's manual:
"Perhaps a more salient question is how long does it take them to reach their sonic best after turn on. It takes about an hour for them to fully warm up, and this is where we adjust them first. Then we adjust them again and again over a couple of days, keeping the bias and offset in the sweet spot. Our environment is about 23 degrees Centigrade and the heat sinks will rise approximately 25 degrees C. above that, for an average on heat sink temperature of 48 degrees C. Sonically they are at their best when the heatsinks are approximately 50 degrees C"
