Cut it be possible to burn in a new pickup just letting it play in the inner gove of a single for 5 days, or will et hurt the pickup, will there be at heat problem.

Don´t like the ide about the smal single because the inner grove the angle is not the bedst, but there are single the sides as normale record, the inner grove is the mittel of a normal grove, this sems to be at better ide?

To burn in a pickup. just drive it easy for the first 600 miles. Then change the oil and filter and it should last you 'couple hundred thousand more. :)

"We just use the word Pickup for cartridge in Denmark"

Thanks, Daemon. "Pickup" is used the same way here, too, although it has several other meanings. Thank you for being so good humored...I just couldn't resist.

The pain of cartridge breakin is not so great (although it is disconcerting to hear changes on something you just paid big money for)...I think just playing music with it will work as well as anything. Depending on the cartridge it will settle down after a few tens of hours.
