Please be patient withe v3 burn in. It is frustating having to wait so long to get a new toy to sing properly, but the waiting is worth.
I am still amazed by the difference before and after. Now I wonder how the designers themselves tune the sound during the course of the design? Did they too have to wait 200 hours each time they made some change to the board???
I imagine with the long erratic burn in that it is hard to keep a clear memory of what the V2 sounded like for comparison. It would be nice to AB in real time between the two. Fortunately they are easy to transport to a friends home to do this.
Gammajo ounce you get to the 150 hr mark and on you wont care what V2 sounded like. You will be spending a lot of time listening to V3 because its that much better. If you dont want to listen to the breakin process run a cd on repeat and get the time in. I enjoyed breakin but did get worried at times but that did pass and now its rock and roll time. Mike
I listened to some Vienna Boys christmas carols cd last night via my v3 and open baffle loudspeakers...
The depth of the soundstage is spooky...so real.....when the boys pitch reach the highest octave, it just sounds so shimmering and has a sense of wetness. In lesser system it will get a bit edgy and forward at that part.
All the voices seem to come from the room behind the front wall......
