In Reply to: Too soon to tell, I think... posted by Duster on April 16, 2007 at 09:28:19:
"IME, it's important to allow cables and connectors at least several days of burn-in before proper judgment can be made, and an especially substantial amount of time is required for a plated conductor/contact to blossom. It's tempting to jump the gun and establish impressions of a device before it's sonic signature is given a chance to develop via the burn-in process. "I think it is valuable info for folks that are contemplating a purchase to know this. Please don't infer that I am passing judgement on the R1 and am assuming it is not worthy. I'll report back in a few days of the changes.
"Cryo treatment may or may not be of such great benefit... a comparison of a cryo’d vs. non-cryo’d R1 needs to be evaluated (and will be done by folks very soon, I’m sure)."
I have an R1 on order from Chris that will be cryo'd and I can do just that and will report back. It will be a few weeks though as he doesn't have any cryo'd R1's ready to go.

Hi kenster,My post was a general opine; not intended to point at you. I'm sorry if it came off as being critical :-)
Cheers, Duster
No worries bro :-)I sat down for another listen today and it has improved somewhat with the bass being alot tighter/cleaner. I also noticed that it added some height to the soundstage as well...spooky :-)
I also noticed that the rhythmic drive has improved by a small margin and there is more air in the soundstage.
Can't wait for it to come into it's own as it is showing some great characteristics.
Cheers,

Duster,
First, thanks for your excellent write-up on the Oyaide R1!I absolutely have to agree with you on break in time. FYI, I recently installed a FIM 880GP and experienced the similar pre-break in issues to those you mentioned - congested mids and less extended top end.
The link below is a follow up to my original post. I had answered my own question, but now you've confirmed it :)
Cheers,
