How long does it take to break in the Hexfred?


I replaced the IXSY 17 Amp hexfred with 26 Amp on my power supply circuit (probably orverkill) and replaced one shorted oil cap on my AES SE-1 amp. It's been nearly 100 hours, but I still feel that it sounds different. Hard to describe, but I think it sounds a bit brighter than it was.

Is it because of the fred and the oil cap are not broken in or is it just a matter of different Fred I use? The oil cap is the same as the one I replaced. If it's b/c of not enough burn in time, how long it typically breaks in, 200 hrs?

Thanks,

can't answer your question but it seems by now that the effected change is probably permanent. Hope that you saved the old diode for reinstallation.
