Is 500 hours of break in really nec.?


I have been told that the Coincident IC needs 500 hours of break in. That is over 20 days of continual use. This sounds quite extreme. I have had my tuner on since friday evening (it is now Tuesday afternoon) and I can't help but feel guilty!

Brian, I have owned and listened to high end audio equipment for a long long time. My first high end equipment was made by GAS and I purchased it in the 1970's. I am amoung those who recommend the use of third party cable over the standard cables (IC, PC or Speaker Cables). I will be very honest with you and state with strong conviction that I have never detected a significant difference between cable that was burned in or not. To me, it is that simple. I know there will be those that disagree with me and I respect their opinion, but they should do likewise to mine.
