Its been a liong time since I've owned a SS amp. But I'm pretty sure they had a break in period. Not that long but maybe a week at the most. AAMOF, burn in is the very reason many a'philes leave their amps powered up 24/7/365. I did. Thats the one advantage that SS has over tubes. Its always ready to sound its best. Tube amp 20 min minimum for sound to open up.
AVA Van Alstine SET 400 amplifier -- burn in?
I am not trying to spark a debate about burn in. I purchased an AVA SET 400 amplifier and will give it a listen for 30 days and decide if it works for me.
If you’ve owned this amp or other solid state amps from AVA and have noticed any changes to the sound over time, can you please describe for me?
I asked Mr. Van Alstine about this and his reply was "No burn in time, it’s running up to speed within a couple of minutes."
What’s your experience? It arrives in less than a week. Thank you.
