I've got a bunch of V-caps in my Primaluna Dialogue integrated amp. They sounded great right out of the gate, but lately they're not so great ... kind of bright and thin. I'm approaching 200 hours and I know that's a milestone for break-in (as is 400 hours). I think I expected gradual improvement but I'm wondering if they see saw back and forth between good and bad before they finally settle in.Any others experience the same thing?
