I see what you mean about amps - one day I'd like to go for Bryston amps, and they do adhere to the burn-in idea: http://www.bryston.ca/14bsst_m.html > Unique Burn-In Procedure: > > Each and every Bryston product undergoes a very extensive burn-in > procedure.

As to "maturing" components, ? Can't argue with a 20-year warranty though. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29025 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
