Sheffield/XLO Test & Burn-in CD. Directions?

Hello,

Once again I turn to you for help, and once again I thank you all for the help, knowledge, advice and truly bad jokes you have shared in the past.
I have a Sheffield/XLO Test & Burn-in CD, the directions for which are badly water damaged.
I find that the application of this disc improves the sound quality of every system I have used it on.
As stated above, my user's guide is kaput, so if anyone has the directions or knows where I may find them I would appreciate it.
I have googled, and not yet found the instructions.

I can scan it and email it to you in a couple of days.

You don't need directions as the disc "talks"(actually Roger Skoff)to you.

Dtsag: If you can do that I will be eternally grateful.

Tabl10s: True, some of the tracks have voice instruction, but I want to be sure that I'm using the demagnetizing and burn in tracks completely.

Dtsag: Can you email me the directions also? I can't seem to find mine and I just bought a new pair of headphones that I would like to burn-in asap. Much appreciated.

Hello, it's not really too complicated. I've had the XLO Test CD for 15 years. Let the demag tracks play through once each at average volume. Set track 9, the break-in track, on REPEAT and play *continuously* at average volume for at least three days, longer if you have time.

Geoffkait: Alright sounds good. I'm comparing a Bose OE and a Harman Kardon CL and need to make a decision before I leave for a trip on friday. Hopefully the xlo cd will speed up the break-in process. Thanks a bunch.
