Black gate "N" & "NX" series how long to breakin

Just got back my Accuphase P300....have about 100 hours on it....still changing.....how long to get up to speed. I have read some that say 300 hours for these blackgate caps...any experience in a amplifier application.

I never bothered to watch the clock but mine took a few weeks running 24x7 before they started settling. Mine was used in the MC stage of a phono, so yours may settle a bit quicker. regards Paul

I think the improvements will be less going foward. But the difference between this amp and my black gate mundorf version isn't in the same galaxy.

To my ear they are better than many premium film caps. Not sure how they make lytics sound quite that good but I sure wish somebody would continue with the BG range of caps. Especially the N and V range. Regards Paul
