Yea - you get what you get, and it gets better. Burn-in is relevant to reviewers to assess what a real listener will live with over time. I would love to hear if you find any measurable differences between fresh and burned in.

@jafant No, I haven’t played with the fuses. Until the CS2.4, my tweaks were on the low budget end (mini-sandbox for my TT, cables on wood blocks, and the Ayre IBE disc). With the FST-sourced crossovers, it seemed very likely that an upgrade in parts quality would yield sonic benefits. Indeed, that is what I heard. The Ayre is such a great piece, I doubt I’ll ever afford anything better. Please let me know if you play with ultra fuses.

Thoft, are you importing your luxman yourself? A while back I did some research and noticed a significant price savings if you can live with the voltage adjustment and warranty. Which model did you order? 

Unsound, or the 3.5 with the coax from the 3.7 and a pair of sealed sub woofers.

If Jim was still alive we would have had CS 7.3s, if i recall it was in his plans.
