Either way, there is a possibility of "better sound" after the higher temperatures are achieved. That might indeed be true.
I have played with this effect on stage, and in my case (heavily rebuilt BFDR) it just doesn't make much of a detectable difference AFAIK. Maybe my newer higher wattage plate resistors just don't care so much.
