Preamp break-in

I just got my CJ PV11 recapped  with Teflon caps.  My question is: do they need break-in?
 If so, does it require that music be playing or just leaving the unit on without music playing?

The teflon caps will need burn-in time.  Play music through the PV-11 to allow the new capacitors to burn-in.  A fine preamp.  Enjoy!

I had a CJ ET3-SE and it took about 200 hours to break in the teflon caps. Have fun w/your CJ.

Thank you for the responses.
 I’m happy with the improvement with the caps already.
 I can only imagine how much better it will be after break-in!
