I have not really noticed any change in sound when the amp is off for a bit other than the usual changes with warm up. I do find Black Gates a little dark and closed-in sounding until about an hour of use, especially the ones in my tuner.
The worst caps for break-in I've ever experienced have been big values (15uF) of Duelund Cast Copper used in a passive speaker crossover. After 80 hours of listening, I finally gave up and put them on an Audio Dharma Cable Cooker on the 12V / 2 amp circuit for 5 days. That opened them way up! Well worth the wait.
