 If you need to do that then the products are poorly designed. 

Well engineered products should reach optimum performance within 15 minutes or so after switch on

Agreed.

unless they haven't been used for some time.

Disagreed. Long-term changes (e.g. electrolytic caps drying out) won't be undone by any duration of operation.

That is not my experience with electros such as used in the John Linsley Hood PSU add-on capacitance multiplier section where they have around 600mV across them.

I doubt it has the ability to resurrect dead components.

 I note that Ralf11 has favourably reacted to that, YET he is one of the main offenders when it comes down to stifling debate with his heavy handed moderation and attempts to steer the conclusion of the thread to his desired outcome.

 

What we appear to need here is removal of the automatic granting of Moderator privileges, and each request considered on a case by case basis by Chris, or any appointed Moderators.

What's with the vendetta against Ralf11? Did he run over your dingo?

Put another way, if all the bugs die, all the people die. If all the people die, all the bugs will be just fine :~)

If the bugs die, the people die, and then new bugs will emerge. Eventually, possibly, also new people.

I would prefer new and better octopi.

Maybe there'll be octopeople.

I’m just not sold that it also means headphones provide a more realistic representation of the recorded event. 

Well, last time I went to a live gig, the musicians were definitely somewhere in front of me, not inside my head.
