Opinions and Comments on Equipment Breakin

Tech Square

Technical and speculative discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

I recently have had the opportunity to break in two pieces of new equipment. I have found that if the piece is good it will usually sound good right out of the box. I also have found out if it sounds bad right out of the box it usually is. The differences I have heard during breakin is usually with the piece opening up. The sound stage and images become very deined. I also noticed that the puiece necomes less edgy. I am always able to tell out of the box whether it is going to be good or not. I cant understand how some people have said it takes 300 hrs to be at its best. I have observed CD players open up at 40-50 hours and amps usually in the 100 hr mark at their best, Your opinions on the break in process.
