Thanks all. These advices sound quite sensible. I think I will just
let the amp settle in by itself in its intended environment.
I also was sceptical in burning in amplifiers, but this Naim pair does
sound very hard edged in the first couple of days and is improving.

I agree absolutely with the comparison of Lavry and BM...
As per the main topic:
I did the same comparison, lavry vs. SB3 analog out, and I find the
difference quite significant in favour of the lavry.
I also suggest one thing: the Lavry is a preamp as well, with no way to
bypass the preamp, no f

Anyway, it sounds like you have a nice system so why not just use it as
normal (maybe leave the amps on 24/7) and enjoy it?
Trying to burn in my Naim 202/200, but wife would kill me if I blast it
24/7.
Some Naim head who seems to be in the know told me to buy a pair 20W/8
Ohm resister and connect the two ends to the +ve and -ve of both the
left and right channel and play music on it 24/7
1. Is this an effective way?

No argument with that statement. Least-worst tempering (for Liszt and
