Is it a general rule to burn them in for a few hundred hours? I have found that the handful of CD players (or DAC/Transport combos) I've owned seem to get better, especially in the frequency extremes (more control, less boom or sizzle).
Having just finished my system (added cables) I wondered this. I use my wife as a guinea pig as she has better hearing and no idea what stuff costs. We both have found that any a/b comparisons suffer greatly after a few days (maybe less) and we are unable to tell any difference. Mind this is differences in specific samples we selected to test. I'm gonna stay out of this fight but I'm curious if folks do anything different for long term comparos than they would short?
sometimes a piece of equipment sounds worse over time, i.e., it gets bright and aanalytical and it sounds better , out of the box than after 500 hours.
