phono stage break in?

I've found that the best burn-in CD is the Ayre CD using the brown-noise track. Since the brown-noise mimics the frequency distribution mimics actual music. I also use the Cardas record montly and for cartridge break-in. Both, in my opinion, are indispensible.

"Do we hear various components break in? Absolutely. Some more than others, as has been noted. Cartridges, speakers, tubes, capacitors, interconnects and cables (even if cables aren't "components"!)."
We already had the do cables breakin debate on another thread. Judge for yourself.

Thanks for the heads up on the Ayre burn in CD. Have you tried and compared it with either the Granite or Purist Aduio burn in CDs ?

Larry:

I have only had the chance to compare the Ayre to the two Granite CDs. The PAD one is a bit pricey for me, and I cannot find anywhere even a "track listing" or rationale/marketing on why I should buy the PAD CD. The Ayre CD was made by George Cardas and works very well for burning equipment in. I actually have a new headphone amplifier on the way here and plan to use it again, so perhaps I can use this opportunity to revaluate the Ayre CD ;) Like many people, I use the Ayre and Cardas record weekly for general maintence as well as break-in with noticeable differences.

Thanks for the follow up. I will give the Ayre a try. Where is a good place to pick it up (Acoustic Sounds) ?
