Late on this thread ...
Can anyone tell me of a cartridge whose essential character did NOT reveal itself after 80 hours?
That's 240 record sides, folks.
I have never experienced a cartridge that didn't show its nature after 10 and wasn't stable (meaning substantially broken in) after 25.
I have to wonder if people aren't taking 80-100 hours to learn the cartridge's secrets and master its setup as opposed to it taking this long to break in.
After the RMAF, I'll give this thread a good read, but the above question HAD to be asked.
Cheers,
Thom @ Galibier
