I agree with Sean that SS sounds best when left on or in standby if that option is avaliable. All audio equipment (cables and IC's included) that I have experienced requires "break-in" time. There are no hard and fast rules for how long as each piece of equipment varies. There are some "System Burn In" CD's on the market that can help speed up the process in addition to playing a low level signal continuously for several days. Be patient the amp will settle in. Good Luck, Doug
