What is your routine for break-in of cd player

My routine for breaking in a cd player is to connect the cd player to the preamp or integrated, put a cd in the player on repeat and let it play for a week or more.

I agree with Foster_9, though I would say that 24-48 hours spinning the Ayre/Cardas burn in cd should be sufficient.

I like to use track 4 of "Irrational, But Efficacious", the System Enhancer Disc from Ayre Acoustics. Use the repeat function on the player and let 'er rip for about a couple of days. Then, I use real music and let the music disc repeat for another day. This works well for most all components, including cables/cords and contact enhancers.

My last couple of CD players arrived just before the start of week long vacations. I put them in the system, put a high energy disk on repeat, and let the system run for 7-10 days unti I returned.

My most recent player was a highly modified Oppo 980 from Rick Shultze at EVS. It sounded like a different player after breaking in for 240 hours in a row.....

Enjoy,

I second the ayre disk routine,but i listen to music at night then put on track 4 of ayre disk.(Sim 400 hrs at least).
