What exactly is "breaking in" on a new cartridge ?


Stylus tip ?? Suspension ?? Or......

Suspension, coils all moving parts developing a working motion together. I find that my Kleos now well "Broke-in" still sounds better once I play one LP side to "warm up" for each session. YMMV
me too theo - my cartridge makes the biggest improvement when it is warmed up.
Those (burn-in, break -in) are frightening expressions or phrases considering the fragile nature of the objects involved. In Europe we use the expressions 'play in' or 'warm-up'(time) which are obviously more adeqate for the purpose.
