On four occasions now, the sound starts out not sounding very good, but almost exactly at 2 1/2 hours of continuous listening, the sound stage suddenly "blooms" and I hear what I have identified as the beauty of the Morrow interconnects. When it happens, it gets my attention.Kisawyer,

JMO, the differences you are hearing 2 1/2 hrs later after you turn on your equipment is not due to the ICs but rather because of your equipment and speakers.
LOL, how do you sound and feel when you first wake up in the morning?
I am not familiar with your KLH speaker but they look like Planners. I owned a pair of Maggies many years ago, loved the speakers, but it took at least an hour for those speakers to stretch and wake up from a cold start. Sounded even better after a couple of hrs.
Tube equipment takes a while to warm up and reach its optimal listening potential as well.
