Phono pre "Break-In" process? Necessary?

Oy.

I actually have eight - count ’em!! - products that reduce distortion in the sound. None of these products affect the audio system per se - not the electronics, not cables, not the house AC, not the house wiring, not speakers, and not room acoustics. Did I leave anything out? So, no matter how well you do with reducing, ameliorating, attenuating, or plain getting rid of distortion everywhere else, including the amplifier, there is a long way to go. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water.

geoffkait,

All you need to start with is a new power amp - it has the most difficult job of maintaining constant velocity with linear gain that cannot vary (at all). It has built in Auto-Focus

You will be back for the preamp.(also no distortion w/ Auto-Focus)

Funny you should say that. I actually don’t use an amplifier. Or a preamp. Pretty ironic since you're the big amp guy and I'm a non amp guy.  Let me riddle you this: is no amplifier better than any amplifier? I also eschew fuses, transformers, interconnects, house AC, power cords, speaker cables and digital cable.

geoffkait, so you’re the one. Organic neuron stimulation? telepathic-enabling technology?... like in the film Æon Flux?! That’s way cooler then this gear thing.
