Your experience and mine mesh 100% on the teflon break-in front. Cruelly long, but ultimately, worth the wait.

Thus, my surprise at Uncle Stu's post. Hey, it is worth a try, that's for sure. I also have a crap-load of other break-in discs I could try as well (Sheffield-XLO; Cardas-Ayre; MFSL; HiFi News; Chesky; Stereophile; etc.), but tend to usually use cut #20 on the Stereophile Test Disc 3 (or sometimes track #4 on the Ayre-Cardas.) That's what I'm using currently with my ICs, the Stereophile cut (wide ranging instruments plus LF sweeps), and it seemed to be slow going. Maybe Jim Aud's (rather bizarre sounding) CD-R effort can speed things up a tad. Cannot hurt to try.

But if not, well, I guess I better just bite the audio bullet and get ready for a long slog, break-in wise. It's worth it, though, ultimately. :-)

Again, thanks for the fine post, Duster.

Oh, and a quick Q: how much better do you think the newer Eichmann pure silver RCAs are over the old, original ETI ones? I have two sets (well, one now) of the older Eichmann pure silver RCAs that I got off Percy for a nice price ($75 a set!), so that's what I'm using presently, but when they are gone, Eichmann's newest offerings are something I would strongly consider. Your opinion would be welcome. TIA, of course.
