At approximately 126 hours into the break in process it is worth while that I post a brief update.
The sound of Criterion continued to open up and to relax until about 85 hours of playing time. . . I was starting to hear a considerable amount of ambient cues. Without the sound ever venturing far towards the warm sound of neutral, performances were becoming more and more textured and emotional. I was very pleased by the amound of harmonic content, macro and micro dynamics, and immunity from distortion in loud passages.
At approx the 90 hour mark, sound turned markedly toward surfacy, pinched, harsh, and brittle. . . Violins became steely and whyny, piano steely and shallow. . . detail gone out the window. . . ambient cues no where in sight, micro dynamics an alien concept. Seems Criterion is not at all immune from the dreaded break-in doldrums. This morning, at approx 115 hours, the creature was definitely still in a bad mood.
Sometimes in the late afternoon things started to open up once again. Now, at about 126 hours, the sound has reopened up considerably, if not to the point where it was a couple of days ago. . . music is becoming enjoyable once again. Can't help being anxious. . . patience is a lot easier to preach than to practice.
