is there an average length of time for a component to break in, or does it depend on the kind ( amp, CDP, speaker) or type ( tube, transistor, cone or panel etc.) of component?
Speakers do need a break in, often you need to play white noise for at least 100 hours to get it started. When dealers talk about break in, turn it back on them with the 'dealer' doing the break in for you before the sale is final.
