@ Calvinj,, Man-0-man, get ready, The 2s goes thru some horrible changes when Its burning in!, you will notice a nice improvement at 300 hours, then 350 hours, I believe all the small improvements are done as well!I am useing the Taralabs zero gold i/c 1-meter,, the 2s will sound warmer at the end of the burn-in cycle, If its enough warmth for you, I do not know?, LOL!, The 2s does not even have a soundstage till 280 hours!, I know all this, I just broke my player in!, I notated on paper every thing!, To me, Taralabs sound good on the Ayon players, All of the Ayon players!, A much cheaper i/c that is warm is the Taralabs, The one, and the 0.8 cable,, post back, you are the only person I have talked to that got his player nearly the same time I did!, cheers!
