Why does it take so many hours to brea in arc preamps and amps?


I recently purchased a like new ARC 5 SE pre amp.  The unit had less than 200 hours on it.  Everything I have read states that ARC preamps take up to 600 hours to fully break in.  Why is this so and what improvements can I expect to hear as the unit accrues hours?

just sit back and listen for the changes yourself.     If members tell you what to expect then it takes all the fun out of listening to something new .
