Breaking in of CD player?

Use the break-in track on the XLO Test CD set on repeat for two weeks continuous play. There is really no substitute for breaking in not only the new CD player but everything else in the chain, wires, cables, capacitors, etc.. Simply playing music continuously for two weeks, or two years, just won't be nearly as effective.

Just listen to music.

So what do I actually do to accomplish this?

Leave it in the box and DON'T play it. After 2000 hours you are good to go.

Joe-

your Sony spinner will require at least 400 hours to break-in. After that benchmark, the sound of the player will really shine.
