| Break-in factor rqd for new cd player? Be a little careful running it on repeat for a long period of time. Some laser lenses are plastic, and although rare, have been known to get soft from heat build-up and warp. Just leaving the CD player on is OK. I would probably just put on some l... | |
| Applause: Bummer Sounds like we need a new thread on Best Audiophile Applause Track. | |
| Break-in factor rqd for new cd player? I was talking to Stan Warren about this a while back and he said a good rule of thumb is 100 hours to get to 90% and about a month to get the last 10% to fully burned in. For those who do not know Stan, he is the S in PS Audio, and now modifies eq... |
