Another Blackgate burn-in question;

207.200.116.66

I recently put some small standard Blackgates in the MPX of my older H/K Citation tuner and for the first couple of weeks it has been like a roller coaster ride. After a couple of hundred hours, the overly bright sound one day became more natural and neutral. This lasted for another 50 hours and then the sound suddenly became more subdued, actually in reverse of how it started out. Today after another 50 hours, the sound is opening up again, but still not with the openess and proper transient attack I think they are capable of. There are 5 BG caps, four rated at 10uf,50V and one at 2.2uf, 50V. ( I'm thinking I have about 400 hours on them now). When do these Blackgates finally settle down? I leave my tuner on 24/7.
