Has happened to me on occasional kit swaps but not always. Also I've had the opposite experience where it starts off good and then a couple of days later it isn't sounding so good. Although this could be just because I'm listening to different music on the later occasion and it's showing up the flaws. Which does all suggest it is psychological. That and the absence of any credible explanation otherwise.

Warm up in my direct experiece is a thing, not with everything, but a lot of stuff.
The TDA1541 DAC chip Marantz players and the like needed at least 24 hours of being left on to sound their best. I used to leave mine on, back in the day. I don't now, after a DAC I owned caught fire, managed to get it out of the house ok, but I don't want burn't capacitor smell in my house again, or risk of a serious fire.
I don't leave anything on these days and I do own kit that does still benefit from being left on, I fire these up an hour before listening and accept that they could sound still better again.

Just having a listen to my system now, sounds better than when I last listened on Tuesday. Nothing has changed since then. What can you do?

I'm brian.
Evening seems to sound better than morning ?. Not sure but I think most folks find that ?
Mostly I don't perceive any change for no reason. Just on the odd occasion like this.

I'm convinced the system sounds better some nights than others... so it's either the lecky or my ears or how I feel that night I reckon..
