Wyred STP-SE : Break In Times

Hi All,

I recently purchased the W4S STP-SE preamp. I have been breaking it in. It's nearly 350 hours now and feel like it hasn't opened up yet. Vocals are harsh, sound stage is limited and everything feels cramped.

Now, the manual says 200 hours, but does anyone have experience of breaking in much longer to get it to optimal sound?

I have experience with other Wyred products (DAC, MC amp), so I have a very good idea of their sonic character.

I'm just wondering if this is time to panic or wait it out, to say, 500 hours.

Any input appreciated.
Thanks.

What was it that they said in the Stephen King movie...SSDD?

Same Sh*t Different Day.
I remember Wc65 Mustang and some of the inflamatory posts.
I've had good days, and bad days on Audiogon...even had too much wine and made a fool of myself...but I've NEVER had to use fake names, change identities.
Tom has NEVER hidden his sale of these products...anyone paying attention knows this--only a confederate, a fraud would change their name, though.

Good listening,
Larry
