I to have a turandot CDP.The dealer I got it from recommended 50 to 60 hours of break in time.My experience differs.I would say about 150 to 200 hours break in time would be more appropiate.After the 60 hour mark I still kept hearing a gradual softening of the high end.By the way its a great CDP, especially if you can get one used.I categorized it as extremely neutral.Ive never had a CDP that changes so much from cd to cd .If you can live with a CDP that reveals the recording to such great extent, be it good or bad, this CDP is it at its price .My system consist of Audible Illusions modulus 3a with gold phono board, Mccormack DNA 125 amplifier,Magnepan 1.6qr speakers and jps superconductor interconnets and speaker cable
