There arent 8 people here who are going to wait more than 30 minutes to setup and turn it on with the possible exception of tube people.If you have compressed air give the innards a shot and look for seepage,then do a visual[bent casework].If not have lunch and turn volume on real slow after checking connections.If your coming out of Alaska in January let it come to room temp overnight.You are correct,use your ears and other applicable senses before engaging power.It helps to pretend your Casey Jones at times like this,cheers,Bob
Advice on Setting Up System After Storage
Curious as to anyone's advice on setting up your system after it has been in storage. Reason for storage is that we moved across the country and belongings have been in storage for the last 7 months. I personnally disassembled and packed everything in their original cartons. Am curious as to break in times. Will everything have to go through an extended break in period before the system begins to sound wonderful again. System consist of Rowland, Sonus Faber, Clearaudio, Benz Micro, ZYX, and Siltech. Thanks for your input. Dave
