MC Cartridge break-in?


Is there a break-in period for Koetsu cartridges? I am using a new Koetsu which sounds somewhat harsh and throws a narrow soundstage...should this cartridge smooth out and open up over a period of time?
Thanks

10 hours minimum, i'd say. you should notice the biggest difference after that minimal time, and then the time increments really start to spread out. ie like, 50 hours and so on. i can't imagine it needing more break in any further than 150 or so before it is finished.

either way, though, the first 10 hours are the biggest.
