Do Interconnects need to "warm up"?

Audiophilia is a religion. As with all religions, it is based on faith.

No they do not it must be something in your gear tubes maybe?

Blkadr (Black Adder perhaps) brings up a point which I reject, at least in part. Audiophilia is terminology used to explain those of us who care ALOT about our HiFi systems and their capabilities to re-create musical events well enough for us to suspend belief. We experiment and choose what we find works best, without being overly biased as to any particular pursuits predilection for failure. In other words, the proof is in the puddin' my dear fellows. Those on the other side of the coin, who have pre-determinations already formed as to the efficacy of any particular avenue of audio enhancement, are the blindly religious zealots. We audiophiles are not necessarily religious.....just passionate for the advancement of the auditory arts!

I don't consider it a religion, but as a hobby,obsession or whatever one thinks of it, it is definitely faith based !!!

Audiophilia simply cannot be compared to a religion because it doesn't include any belief in anything beyond here and now. It's probably closer to a mental illness and voices in our heads.
