Why does it take so many hours to brea in arc preamps and amps?


I recently purchased a like new ARC 5 SE pre amp.  The unit had less than 200 hours on it.  Everything I have read states that ARC preamps take up to 600 hours to fully break in.  Why is this so and what improvements can I expect to hear as the unit accrues hours?

Who do you think you are insulting members? Like you own the forum, or are vastly superior in intelligence than the rest of the members? 
Make a positive, beneficial comment or dont at all if you just want bash people.

Actually, an expert in court provides expert opinion or evidence, not proof. See the difference? Besides an expert can be wrong, his testimony doesn’t guarantee success for whomever he is testifying. And experts don’t always agree. That’s why the defense expert witness often disagrees with the plaintiff expert witness. Hel-loo! That’s why the Appeal to Authority is an illogical argument.

what was the insult darkmtter?

No one can deny that Nelson Pass is an expert, and the experiments prove him right.

Or are you a science denier?

Authority is not as good as an on point experiment but a LOT better than an ill informed opinion?  If you don't believe that then do your own surgeries and find out.
just show measurements that demonstrate a change after burn in then i'll be a believer.

How do you measure soundstage, grain, bloom and warmth?
