I too can't say with any certainty that I've heard any difference between kit being cold or warmed up. If there is a difference it's very subtle and since there's necessarily an hour or so wait before you can do a comparison it's easy to imagine that something is better an hour later.
I usually leave my stuff on all the time but only out of a sort of paranoia that I might not possibly be getting the last 0.1% out of it from cold. I've certainly never played stuff from cold and thought: "jeez that sounds bad".
As with "running in" unless the difference really is dramatic it's hard to say you're not just imagining it. Speakers needing to be run in, sure, they are a mechanical device but electronics? I guess maybe some caps need some time to "settle down" but even that I don't really understand.
