Obrigadissimo Brazcole, I did not know that my name was in the movies. Now going back to Criterion. . . you are probably one of the very first lucky audiophiles to receive Criterionin the Americas. That is why we are kindly asking you to write your impressions on this discussion thread. . . . here are some specific questions:
1. Did you receive the remote control for the Criterion?
2. Criterion can operate both connected to the wall electricity (outlet (AC), as well as on its internal battery. Have you already listened to it both on AC and on battery? Was the sound any different? Can you describe the difference?
Finally, it is very likely that the Criterion will need to be used and make music for a few hundred hours before sounding its best. . . the process is often called 'break in'. Please let us know how the sound changes as you 'break in' the unit. Typical interest points are:
. Brand new.
. 25 hours.
. 50 hours.
. 100 hours.
. 200 hours.
. 300 hours.
500 hours.
. 700 hours.
. 1000 hours.
I have created a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet to help tracking break in progress. I'll be glad to send it to you if you send me an email.
Grazie mille,
Guido
