I’ve been offered this thing and bought it. Nothing in the included file indicates that it is  designed specifically to break in, the claim is that it « enhances » your system as a whole. It is an hour long aiff sound file. Played it once and my s...

Classe vs Moon audio vs Ayre vs Pass
I own a Classé CA-2100 feeding a pair of Oskar Kithara (4 ohms with Heil tweeters). When I bought it in 2006, the other amp in the room to compare with was the Ayre v5xe which costs 1000$ more (at the time). I found that the Ayre was an easy liste...
