100 hrs. for me

Fishfood,

They may not be for you, but I can testify that they required a much longer burn-in time before they were anything other than earsplitting in my rig. Since you've already bought them, I'd give them music for on up to 100 hrs. before rendering an opinion.

Before break-in, mine sounded brittle and harsh, not bloated in the midrange. Did you get the New Sensor version (cf. thread on this issue from a week or so back -- if you did, the internals will look like those of the ElectroHarmonix KT88)? Or did you get the Svetlanas with the internals more nearly resembling those in the pictures under the KT88 Svetlana at www.tubestore.com ?

Best, jh
