Black gate "N" & "NX" series how long to breakin

Just got back my Accuphase P300....have about 100 hours on it....still changing.....how long to get up to speed. I have read some that say 300 hours for these blackgate caps...any experience in a amplifier application.

I think the improvements will be less going foward. But the difference between this amp and my black gate mundorf version isn't in the same galaxy.

Every aspect of performance is multiple magnitudes better....incredidle tonal realism,air,3d holographic imagining ect,ect. I can't explain the lack of demand for these caps....but if they were widely used...there would be no Hi-end industry. Justification for 5 figure equipment would not exist. My BG preamp will be done this week....I cannot fathom how that will sound.... amazing. Upgraded both amp and pre for 1200 bucks total...not a bad deal considering the performance gains.
