Wyred STP-SE : Break In Times

Hi All,

I recently purchased the W4S STP-SE preamp. I have been breaking it in. It's nearly 350 hours now and feel like it hasn't opened up yet. Vocals are harsh, sound stage is limited and everything feels cramped.

Now, the manual says 200 hours, but does anyone have experience of breaking in much longer to get it to optimal sound?

I have experience with other Wyred products (DAC, MC amp), so I have a very good idea of their sonic character.

I'm just wondering if this is time to panic or wait it out, to say, 500 hours.

Any input appreciated.
Thanks.

Don't you sell the Audiopoint products audiotweak?

If so, wouldn't that disclosure be relevant?

If in fact you are selling products and recommending them in the forums, perhaps your membership status should be changed from private to commercial.

Or you could continue advertising without disclosure as you've been doing.
