How long does it take to break in new cartridge?


I am currently using Clearaudio Artist V2.

I don't see much talk about it made me curious. Generally how long does it take to break in brand new cartridge? Or does it need breaking in?

To me at least, new carts break in a lot more than any other component. For the first few hours they actually sound broken. I can hear a difference from record to record. Like Jwm says, 50 to 100 hours and you should be OK.
