My Wadia 861 with GNSC's Statement modifications took about 500-600 hours to start sounding consistently good (after the mods). Kept improving through about 1200 hours, then seemed to settle in and now just gives me outstanding tunes.
How Long Did it Take to Burn In a new piece?
What was the longest time period you ever had to go through when burning/breaking in a new piece of equipment,regardless if was electronics,power cords,speakers,wires,etc.,untill it finally was broken-in and showed its true colors? Would you fellow GON members be willing to share what equipment/timespan you went through this with,and was the transformation gradual or a sudden snap at a specific time? Also,were their certain pieces that never "blossomed" and lived up to your expectations after a lengthy burn-in period,so off they went after your hard work waiting for them to reach their potential.
