Anyone using the Transistor Research LabsM 225's

I agree Bill. The notes, despite being stream-of-consciousness, offer insight into an intriguing piece(s) of gear that I have not heard but would like to....

Bill,
Are you running your amps continuously? I'm failing to do this, forgetting overnights at low levels for example. Realistically, 6-10 hrs/day.

I'm hard-pressed to believe that a specific regiment will result in a sound different from another, but who knows? Brian is mildly adamant about continuous break-in operation.

I'd fire this query at TRL were it not for the fact that I'm embarrassed for not following instructions!

(Regular music, no noise or special break-in CDs, of which I'm dubious.)

I leave mine on 24/7 - never turn them off. I used to run them 24/7 at low volume for break in. After some 300 hours I stopped that.

Standard TRL rule of thumb is 400 hours break in. You should do this by leaving the equipment on 24/7 and running a signal through it. From my experience it does not have to be at low level volume. I burned in my D-225 by playing a CD on repeat when I wasn't listening. I'd change the CD every now and again. I would use a burn in CD once a month, but this was for the entire system in general. The Granite Audio CD is a inexpensive and easy one to use.
