Just put in the PC on the amp and there was an immediate improvement. Any haze (which I hadn't noticed) was gone, daddy gone. Clear as a sky of azure blue, clear as an unmuddied lake. Next, one for the CDP. Improvement not as substantial as the first, but what would one expect?
Put in the ICs and likewise, no waiting, big improvement. Big grin on my face. No downside, to speak of.
CD after CD showed an improvement.
Next, the SCs. ??? More detail. All of a sudden I have vertical balance in the soundstage. Big improvement in lower midrange and bass (nothing earth shattering but it now has presence), deeper insight (more detail and nuance), but....what happened to the air? There's smoke where there used to be air and sparkle. Its almost homogenized but not. Certain CDs sound better but most have that smog about them. For the time being.
Not really a complaint since they have to break in but right out of the box, I must say I'm impressed. From what I've read, here, 200 for break in is expected but I think it will take less.
We'll see.
