OP, I have a well seasoned emmLabs PRE preamp. Next week, I will be receiving the new PREi which is emmLab's reference level preamp. I will follow the same break-in process I described in my "long winded" post above:-) If you like, I can report a summary level report-out in a few weeks. I am expecting the new PREi to sound better, so I will focus on the changes of the new preamp as it goes through the break-in process.
Queston On Burning In A New Preamp
I'm in the process of burning in my new PS Audio PMG preamp. I simply have my CD player in a loop, repeatedly playing a music track. However, I don't have my power amp turned on as to not drive the family crazy. My question is, does it matter that the power amp is not on or does the preamp react differently when feeding a signal to a powered up amplifier?

I’ve taken a slightly different tact with the most recent additions, collecting pieces at the more moderately priced end of the spectrum and looking for sales, open box and well-loved to save a few bucks here and there to acquire components that have for a long time pique my interest. Suprizingly, budget components have come a long way and seem to be configured quite intelligently delivering all the attributes audiophiles seek for music reproduction. The Rotel, Teac and the Dali’s with Audio Technica VM95 and the Rotel’s phono stage is absolutely amazing for what it is! Of course, the Naim and Spendors require all the advantages of my best source components and deliver accordingly. Fun stuff!- 28 posts total
