best way to break in Sound Labs U1?


new pair just arriving. At present using Tact equipment or Pass I may try tubes later after they are broken in.
How long does the procedure take?
Thank you N.A.H.

Just play music on 'em! They don't need any special break-in procedure. They'll sound a bit better after a couple hundred hours, but it's not like you have to wait until then before they sound good.

To me, they sound more lively after being plugged in for a half-hour or so than they do at first. After abour three days of being plugged in I think they sound even better still. Every two or three weeks unplug them overnight to let the charges dissipate. Roger West suggested this to me as a routine maintenance; he compared the static charge on the diaphragm to a stretched rubber band, and said it's a good idea to let it relax every now and then.

Feel free to give me a holler if you have any questions and I'll do my best.
