How to evaluate amps that are not broken in?

(Bill ,Tvad)

Amen........

Finally a voice of reason

PS
If, let's say a $10,000 cdp sounds like $3000 cdp out of the box
and manufacture claims/says it will take 800hrs for full burn-in process to get the best of it..........well, if you listen for about 3hrs a day it will take about 9 mounts of anticipation, confusion, insecurity.

And then........you hear the first scream, first cry and you love it.

It is a boy!!!!

Sure Mrtennis.
But it is more of the search for the new adventures and boredom with the old then anything else.

How can you keep a burn-in anything from customers like me.
Nice guy from Audio Connections N.J almost lost it when I ask him to sell his demo that was breaking in for few days ( my friend that was there with me bought one. This is just when Rega Apollo started to ship). After going back and forward for good ten minutes he gave up. He didn't have to but he did. Nice guy. Nice place. Good people. I got my new Rega playing that night.
So, as you can see, with bloody bastards like myself it's not easy.
