So your suggesting is that rather than it settling in it's my brain that's radged ? mmm....Interesting. In fact it's probably more likely. My brain is a pretty random factor. I mean sometimes it's capable of even surprising me with its brilliance . But I have to admit that in anything other than a serious and solution needy scenario it's habit is usually to slip into complete juvinility. It's how I get by. But I have a question. If it went through no change from being in the box to its current state , why did it stink like someone had dug my mother up for the first 4 hours ? It stunk because it needed to run in. It may change again, which has happened to me before. I take absolutely no notice of any arguement against burn in because i have done it here with alarming regularity. It has happened with cables and phonostages I've built with almost Swiss precision. As for soak testing being enough time for caps to burn in or form.....depends on the capacitor. I have heard tales of mammoth Jupiter caps that actually require a burn in machine, because they will probably outlive the unit they are in, before they burn in. There are suppliers that offer this service for those types of capacitor to. Whether anyone believes it or not, I certainly do. |

Some capacitors can take a dogs age to fully form. You've got a reference for this? I've searched the internet and I can't find anything. |

With lytics forming is taken to mean the time taken for the leakage to reach a steady state value. In circuit this can take ages, depending on voltage they see and current flowing through them. Paradise caps take about 70 hours.
On the bench with a DC supply and a suitable power resistor they take ten minutes.
I've never seen any reference material for film caps.

Cables burning in? Burning out yes but burning in, I'm outta here

So, Mr Engine, how is the Denon amp doing?
You happy with it?

It's really good.
Unless I touch the tone controls which just turns it into a mess.
I only tried it for fun. It doesn't need to be out of 'Direct' mode.
I hae the top source through the 'tape' inputs which I always do just tipp keep there signal path cleaner .
I'm delighted with the sound.
Nice and chunky and authoritative.
Plenty of attack . The best thing is tje bass.... so defined and clean without as nd boom or muddiness .
