Techinics Sp-10 Mk2a break-in period

I recently had all the electrolytic caps, thrust bearing, and bearing replaced on my sp-10 mk2a TT and PS. I like to know if there is a break-in period for these parts. If so, what sonic changes should I expect during the break-in period. Thank you.

Peter, Does your replacement PS sound better than the original?

Hello Dave,

I got mine without a power supply, so I had to make one, actually I'm making five of them, so I have a few extra. Is it better than the original ? I don't know, what I do know is, that is ridiculously overbuilt as almost anything we make :-)

Good Listening

Peter, hi, by that logic the power cord doesn't affect the sound of the turntable either.

Any power cord with sufficient gauge and good connectors will suffice - if anyone can "hear" a difference with a PC in this particular position I'd state that it is imagined - however to some perception is reality, this is clearly not me.

Good listening

Sp-10 mk2 owners know the stock power cord on the PS is a thin lamp cord with a two prong connector. I was thinking of upgrading the PC to something better (undecided yet) and with a three pin male connector. I would gladly make the power cord change if it would improve the sound.
