Is it the beer or do speakers/electronics really need some extended warm-up period?

To me, one of life's best times are a cold beer and listening to good music.  I have noticed that the longer the listening/drinking session, the better the sound.  Is it the beer or do the electronics/mechanical components mellow out after some burn-in period?  Thought about listening with no beer, but that's not happening.

If they need such a warm up, they are a truly bad design.

Thanks Doug, I can't believe I wasted time and money via my electric bill, because I delusionally imagined my Bryston amp sounded better after being on for 24 hours or so. Over and over I imagined this. If only this thread had appeared years ago. I could have saved a few bucks. My new Class A Luxman seems to take only about 30 minutes to come fully into song.

Hey, my amp just caught fire and exploded! Gosh, it must have been thermally unstable. Rats! 🐀 🐀 🐀
