Burn In

Rgreene, I'm a South GA guy myself from Jacksonville. Anyways, you're worrying too much. Either burn it in or don't. It the long haul it won't matter. If you like the sound now, then put it out of your mind. If it's a little congested and has some glare, then burn it in for 100-hours plus to if that doesn't open things up.

Now comes the rub, burn in, I know when you buy a piece of beef at the market you have to cook it before you eat it, the last thing I rolled was not a tube but a joint.

That's funny, when was the last time you rolled a joint?
Seriously, just let it play and report back with your findings.

I BELIEVE 1966

That's about the time I rolled my first.

I discovered something interesting about burn in and bass. If you want to increase your bass response in your equipment, run Bela Fleck's "Flight of the cosmic hippo" on repeat for a few hours. Watch out, because it generates heat fast. It warms my amp in minutes. I believe it works for a CD player, based on my experience. Come back to deeper warmer more holographic base, depending on your equipment of course. It wont work a miracle.
