Hi Dave, the different and hotter running PFC circuit in the new Continuum 500 integrated may account for shorter break in time than on 300 series stereos, as well as JRDG monos without PFC like 201 and 501. In general, I prefer to be conservative when it comes to break in times. . . too many folks give up on a device prematurely because of their impatience with break in. G.
Class D amp with Tube Preamp Combo?
Have you ever tried a good class D/T amp & tube preamp combination? I have read their can be some occasional problems matching these together?
I was thinking of going this way to get the drive, clarity and efficiency of the switching amp combined with the warmth and full body of the tube pre amp.
What setup are you using?
My first post by the way! I have been reading this forum for the last two weeks learning about audio and what to buy for my first serious system.
