The hotter the better

[iceman16]

I just experienced in a few years of having my amp and it really sound sooo good when its warm and "hotter" to the feel.

Im not kiddin' Cno.. It does sound very good after 30 mins of warmed up but after 2-3 hrs it just like a different beast!

I know.

I have always noticed my system sounds far better in summer. Did mention it once or twice, but was told I had too many beers. *nea* A friend of mine at work also mention it just last week. Cn't be a coincidence.

The performance of electronic components does change with temperature, however, what you describe smacks of poor design. Stabilising amplifier circuits with regard to temperature variation is really old-hat technology and I would be very surprised if they had failed to do it.

Isn't it really much more likely that it is your perception that is changing with time. Things like fatigue and mood are well known to change perception.

I actually prefer how my set sounds in winter. (I don't listen to music as much in the summer months.)

When the room is heated and there is less light.

I also prefer the sound from the amp when the unit is cool - it's for that reason I no longer leave it on or in stand by.

Unless we get a "the wife heard it too" confirmation, this is all speculation.

Even a girlfriend will do.

Or the dog in my case. If it walks out of the room it's a no.

I certainly think that quite a lot of pickup cartridges sound better at, say, 23C or more. Had always presumed that was because their compliance was a shade higher when warmer.

As well as warm electronics, maybe the AC power is cleaner - though of course it makes no difference! - in summer in the UK, because there is less demand. The reverse might be true in parts of the US where more power is used by Aircon than heating.

I always think my system sounds better at night. Most prob due to less noise and more relaxed but so sweet at night.

When i first got the amp it took a few songs to come alive but now im not really seeing a big difference

Someone else's wife and I were boiling eggs at night because the mains has class A sound quality, and she told me a joke.

Bartender says, "We don't serve time travelers."

It's better than the old 'How do you like your eggs in the morning?' joke.

I dont care much about specs. but system synergy and sound quality. IME that's matter most and I really enjoy listening to music. Can fry an egg? yup but I don't use oil though cause the AMS I think has a non stick top plate
