Heat is the dominant failure vector. Temperature cycling stress can lead to other modes of failure depending on design and manufacturing and the quality of components used. The most common failure through temperature cycling is solder joint stress cracks. Ideally, an amplifier should be designed to run optimally cool, thus avoiding excessive heat as well as degradation from temperature cycling.
Do cinderblock weights sound as good?
Depends on their thermal insulation properties and thickness. More insulation - warmer sound. What’s so difficult to understand.
I'd think the concrete in them would also help the harmonic interdependence cohesability (HIC).
Absolutely. HIC not to be confused with Hic-Up is a long under appreciated sound property and measurable.

I hear the results can be very polarizing.

Remember the good giant, father of Pantagruel, from the novel by Francois Rabelais? When he fights the enemy army, he is merciful to the defeated. That he is a leader there is no doubt, that he can win all the battles without question… There is no final amplifier that can put it in trouble...www.hardtofindhifi.com

I think it helps tightening up the bottom end.

On our bodies, we might avoid it but in hi-fi, we embrace it.
