How long does it take to break in coupling caps?

Hi Eddy,

I am a big fan of Clarity in speakers but haven’t used anything that fancy inside electronics, only in speakers. The ESA's are relatively darker than the CMR's.

My experience with speakers is that first 48-72 hours are the biggest change. I won’t say they get better, but the rep called it less "splashy" and I agree with that. They start almost overly sibilant, with exaggerated high-hat range.

Takes about a week of play for them to loose that "splashiness" and become perfectly neutral.

Best,

E

Thank you, Erik.

Been 10 hrs now and still long way to go.  Just like you said it is not as dark as ESA, less warm.  I like warmer sound so I am not sure if made a right decision.    

Dave, Thank you very much for you reply including many info regarding ClarityCap by PM.
