Sorry I haven't read the entire thread, but I do have a thought or two about this.
I purchased a phono pre-amp from a manufacturer in the UK that recommends BURNING IN for 24+ hours before using, and not just having it on, but actually playing audio through it. They even recommended a CD that is recorded with the RIAA curve to feed the preamp from a CD player. The level on the CD is compensated for the lower input requirement of the preamp so it won't kill it. I didn't do a before/after listening test, but all of the reviews I read about the preamp before purchase mentioned this and said it really did make a difference in the sound. I've been in the recording biz for over 35-years and have done many a session where we could hear a difference in the console when it had only been on for a few hours as opposed to several days. -- Eric Seaberg Eric Seaberg - San Diego [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Seaberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7896 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
