audio aero prima cdp... burn in.

Ours seemed to take around 100-200 hours for the sound to open up, and the bass to fully form.

Thanks Boa. As far as burn in, will unplugging the ic`s and just letting the cdp run 24/7 on repeat do the trick or does it need to pass a signal to be truly effective?

Others can probably answer that question better than I, Capt369. If I had to guess, I would say it doesn't matter, but you can always turn down the volume as the player and IC's get to know one another.

Mine was burnt out when I bought it! Its transport, the one you can't get anymore, died after about 8 months. I got it from one the Agon family members - shame shame shame.

Mechans, I`m sorry to hear that. It`s a crap-shoot when buying used gear. That`s a chance that we take. If a seller knowingly sells a faulty item, without listing the problems, there should be strong reprisals. I would expect though that in some cases it would be difficult to prove. At the very least, we can hang a negative feed-back on them.

I`m interested in the new prima with the sony transport. Before I commit tho, I`m going to do a little more investigation. ie...future transport availability if this one fails. Your post prompted me to do that. Thanks.
