Long Break in time from another SS amp maker...

Charles is the Owner of Ayre Acoustics, Inc

I think you're missing something here. If you've ever shipped something around, you would know that stuff actually *un-burns in* during shipment. So for instance when we go to CES, we try and burn in the exact system for at least two weeks before the show. Then on Monday we pack everything up into the van and drive to Las Vegas. By Tuesday afternoon everything is hooked up and running again.
The first day of the show (Thursday), the systems usually sounds OK, but certainly not great. By Sunday afternoon it is usually starting to sound pretty good, but still not to its potential. Of course, then it's time to tear it all down again and head home. Then when we get back to the factory, it usually takes at least a week or two (or seven) for things to start sounding good again.

The bottom line is that it doesn't do all that much good to try and break things in ahead of time, whether it's for a show or a reviewer. It doesn't stop us from trying, though....

Best regards,
Charles Hansen
