RE: Turntable/cartridge burning in

Posted by collinslaw@fuse.net on March 29, 2012 at 09:54:17:

with all due respect to cactus, my long experience has been different. in my experience, a new cartridge will often experience a period of edginess in the treble and constrained dynamics while the new parts are working in. the most recent is a denon 103 ($180), hardly an expensive cart, but very good. the same has been true for me with vehicles, bmw motorcycles take at least 20,000 miles and dodge cummins diesel trucks take about 50,000 (18.5 mpg highway new, 25.0 at 60,000).
the period can vary, but after 10 hours, it should be about 80% of what you can expect and 100 hours it is done.
let us know how it works out.
