How long does it take to break in coupling caps?

I think you will really like the CMR, but if not, you may want to go with the relatively new CSA. It is essentially the ESA line with the copper matrix.

With larger CMR caps I have very good results using copper film bypass caps from Audyn, but others may use Jupiter or Duelund. Watch the physical sizes!!

Do nothing until at least 1 week of playing though! :)

Hi Eddy,

I am a big fan of Clarity in speakers but haven’t used anything that fancy inside electronics, only in speakers. The ESA's are relatively darker than the CMR's.

My experience with speakers is that first 48-72 hours are the biggest change. I won’t say they get better, but the rep called it less "splashy" and I agree with that. They start almost overly sibilant, with exaggerated high-hat range.

Takes about a week of play for them to loose that "splashiness" and become perfectly neutral.

Best,

E
