"The more important question - to which you would know the answer, as you have had a head start on me with the Blues - is: how long did you find they need to break in? The earlier ones seemed to take quite a while of steady playing. Does that trend continue with the Blue?"
If YOU had been reading MY posts you would have seen me say I don't believe it’s possible, under ordinary circumstances, for anyone (rpt anyone) to ascertain what the break in period is for anything, including fuses. To summarize what I posted on the subject previously there are way too many *variables* and *uncertainties* involved including but not limited to time of day, day of week, how many thing the person does to his system in the meantime, both international and unintentional and the person’s general hearing acuity to be able to track the progress of break in and establish when break in is complete. In addition most audiophiles are continually breaking in multiple cables, fuses, whatever. Have you noticed how many people have 4 fuses, or 6 fuses, or 12 fuses? Most folk buy one to see how they like it then but more as they can afford it. Fuses are constantly breaking in!
