Terryakhan, I used the resistor method with my amp and again with my speaker cables. It works great. 24/7 - no noise and you're done in 2 weeks vs. months.
Pass amp break in methods ?
I am trying to find out about breaking in Pass X 350.5 and here are my thoughts since I have read that break in can take up to 300 music hours:
1. Use my FM turner tuned to an FM station via preamp at an extremely low level that can be faintly heard on the speakers.
2. Off tune the FM turner so only a slight hiss can be heard.
3. Place an 8 ohms/10-25 watts wire wound resistor as the speaker load and let it burn via the FM turner, adjusting the volume so the resistor only becomes warm to touch.
4. Leave the amp turned on without feeding an input signal.
I am very thankfull for any suggestions.
