VAC Signature MK2a w/phono users


I've been searching but can't seem to find any users of this very fine pre-amp who also ordered it with the phono like I did and using such?

If so how many hours for break-in, sonic wise what differences should I exspect and at what intervals, I'm currently at 95 hours and really enjoying it.

My current set-up;

TW Raven One table
Graham Phantom MK11 arm
Dynavector XV-1s cart
Stealth Hyperpgono cable

Raquel, thx for the responce. Do you have one of these? Yes I read the same in the manual "150 hours" also but was just curious from users and the sonic differences, can't seem to find any discussions about the phono part specifically in this pre.

I'll have to ask Kevin, I wonder if the unit is on and put on mute "stand bye" are the tubes disabled in the pre and phono sections, if they aren't my thinking would be by leaving it on 24/7 would lession the tube life hours which I would not want to do but after reading what you wrote could possibly differ. thx I'll check into this.
Raquel, thx for all of that detailed info. I won't need to contact Kevin now. Always learning and appreciate the time you spent replying it was very helpful and educational.
