So far, you have a choice of Ayre or Granite Audio. I suggest you look at their web sites where I'm sure you can order one.
I hope break in is true
This is the first time I ever bought a brand new out of the box Preamp. No, wait. Second but, the other doesn't count.
I had made previous posts about my decision to downsize.
I have, everything is kinda good. You know, Okay.
I bought a pre here. great seller, great store. Couldn't have been smoother.
I am just not used to this type of stuff. I wanted something with a phono included. I kept it well under a $1000.00
Now, I got to ask you guys. Will this thing get better???/
I have not had to worry about break in before. Does it really exist?
It is a very well built unit. Remote, I'm not used to that! That's nice. Has everything I need. Except it isn't alive. The music is there, presented very nicely. Clean, no extra stuff. Just doesn't have any dimension.
Please tell me this is going to get better:)

Granite Audio also has an interesting disk that will burn-in your whole system or just burn-in the bass, midrange, or treble sections separately, using a choice of pink or white noise, or focused sweep tones. I have used it to get results similar to those that Sean describes, but have no experience to compare it with the Ayre disk. http://www.graniteaudio.com/phono/page7.html |
Don Hogland, Granite Audio, certainly would disagree with you, as he bills this as a "system" workout. This disk certainly improved my system, although I admit I can't determine specifically where. My speakers have 1000 hours on them, so I wouldn't have expected it to only work on them. Also, I have used his Phono Burn in disk, which is specially recorded to allow your CD player to drive the phono stage during burn in. It also made a noticable improvement, and certainly a phono stage is not a speaker. Apparently your experience is different, and I respect that. |
