MSB BREAK IN PERIOD

My Analog DAC, Analog Power Base, Dual Transport power base and Universal Media Transport V is here.

Took me 3 hours to install.
playing continuously for about 3 hours.

first 20 minutes bass absent, slowly fleshing out , but not quite there yet.
sounds forward , resolution is excellent,slightly bright tops compared to my Wadia 521/571 .

what was your breakin period experience and how long till it settled?

"You ain't heard nothing yet at 80 hrs. The thing about burn-in is that just when you think you are 100% there, then something magical happens at 100 hrs, then 150, then 200 and you keep wondering when the goodies are going to stop coming."

That's funny. You'd never make me believe that.

improving by the day. I am around 150 hours and delighted that it is way way better than at 80 hours.
the jump from 140 hours to 150 hours was astonishing.
coherent across the frequency spectrum and laid back.
sounding natural and non fatiguing now.
no turning back.
believe it Norton.

You "break-in" yourself, not the unit. When something does not meet the hopes, expectations but it was expensive, the story of break in pops up. The hope, that the worse turns to good.
A done right unit sounds good right from the start.
