Is comprised of coils, capacitors and resistors. All of these take time to build dielectric potential and take on their final sound quality.
For speaker caps this can take 40-100 hours. I would recommend leaving the speakers playing your favorit music quietly for a solid week.
Just let them play. Any music that is full range and easy to tolerate would be a good musical option.
Cardas makes a burn in CD. That is fine too, but I prefer straight music.
BTW I have some PIO caps that took 1000 hours to break. When they did it was like hearing a totally different tweeter! That was one heck of an experience for a guy that continues to learn something every day in this hobby of ours.
Hope this helps.
