The modded SB and linear power supplies do take some time to break-in.

The capacitors used in the power supply take time to form.

One thing that I have found to help speed up the process is to play a full bandwidth signal at very high amplitude

Jim Hagerman's FryKleaner does just that. It is a great product to use for cable and amplifier break-in.

Jim has a .wav file of the FryKleaner "noise" on his website.

If you take this "noise" and play it on repeat through your SB (with the amps turned off) it should speed up the break-in time.

Thanks a lot for the tip, Wayne.

I don't know why, but I just hadn't thought about the break-in period on the new SB3, like I have with other gear.

Guess I'll have to get on that...
