Hi,
I have been noticing this of late with my Ultra Micro. If I leave it running for a few hours and then start listening, the sound seems a bit fuller and warmer! Placebo effect?

Could someone explain what's happening here?

The chips etc are stabilizing and everything is coming up to temp. I prefer phones and amps after at least one hour of on time. No P effect here, not for me.

LOL.... how about microwave-ing it?

Warm up...
The components reach ideal working temperature.
