Come on Erik:
You know the drill (wait a few hundred hours).
My recently put together mini system is now sounding quite good (3 weeks in).
Can't pontuncate as to break-in of the various components as it's such a hodgepodge of 15 year old NOS/new-new and the speakers/power cord that have not been used in the past 10 years, but it sounds a hell of a lot better than it did 2 weeks ago.
I was concerned about the old NIB Sharp SD-EX111 still boxed 15 years later, and also about the new stranded Canare cable (never been a fan of stranded speaker cable), but it sounds good enough to look into better (easier to drive) speakers.
The Polk RT15's usually require a lot more power than the Sharp's 20 watt Class-D output, but this is a near-field setup for the computer (45" from speaker to ear).
What's funny is that the Sharp was $75/shipped/closeout (retail $500) and the Polk's were $13.50 @ a local thrift.
The Tripp-lite surge protector/Canare speaker cable/spades for the Canare cost more than than the Sharp/Polk's (then add in the lonely/unsued for a decade $400+ BMI power cord;-).
In hindsight I should have made 12" Canare speaker cables in order that I could switch them into the main rig (compare them to the 47 Labs OTA).
