Time/Process of Hooking up New Equipment
Does anyone else ever felt this way? My new amp arrived with cables and I want to wait until the weekend to hook it up. I don't want to rush through it after work when it is dark and I am tired - almost rushing to get through it. I want to make it a longer event and have time to listen to my existing system, then do the work to hook it up (a bit of a pain) and then rest and have time to listen to the new amp. Maybe stretch out the fun and be fresh on a Saturday morning. What is everyone's timing / process for installing new gear and the before and after listening?

I am the opposite. I will find a way to have the new component operational in record time… minutes preferred… or an hour. Putting a new component in your system is more like having it shipped. There is so much more time needed to actually hear it. So, putting it in my system is only the beginning of the seemingly endless break in process. It is of little significance. Having a new component with 1,000 hours on it… now you have it. That is what it will sound like. If it sounds great out of the box it is great… but I know it will be at least a week until I can begin to start hearing what it will actually sound like…assuming it is solid state and I can run it 24 x 7. If tubed… OMG… a month or two months to get it stable and start hearing it.

@ghdprentice +1 Never put off something you can do today! I may not be the same day I have a long listening session - but it's getting installed as soon as convenient. I think my dog appreciates hearing it right away as well. |
