In the boxes the units ship in, there is a small sheet of paper, printed in red, usually taped to the outside of the plastic bags, that says the sound of the unit will improve up through 600 hours. There has been one of these in my VS115 box, REF3, REF110, and now REF 10 and ReF 75 boxes too.
:dunno:
Interesting, well I guess I have a few more weeks to go. My hour display for my tubes only notes 439
From what I have read from others is there are noticable changes at a few milestones along the way, but after 400 hours the changes become smaller. Certainly for my current rig up through the first 100 hours I had some nights where the music just seemed flat and a bit compressed. Much better now at ~150 hours, I look forward to whatever improvements are yet to come.
She really has flat shoulders.![]()
For me new gear starts out sounding hard then 30 to 40 hours sounds good then gets flat sounding . Then builds into a full sound the 300 to 400 hours seems close. It maybe all in my head but I do not think so. What makes it right I do not know but when it is WOW. I still say the best thing in the system is the record itself . Then just follow the chain down . IMO only

This isn't the kind of commentary I have come to expect from a "friend" regarding the craft I and my colleagues have spent the better part of our lives perfecting.
exactly.My same thought but I did not want to say it. Lol
apparently we all should be deaf and blind mice willing to spend money blindly
and will fully to all
God bless audio
Anyone surprised by MF's ringing endorsement of Synergistic Research do-dads in the latest Stereophile? I know the SR do-dads are an easy target for criticism, but I do think that MF has a sharp set of ears.
Not really. I'm sure their products make a difference. There are a lot of products on the market that make a difference. I believe everything can make a difference, but as audiophiles, we need to always ask ourselves, "are these things better or are they just different?" I've found that with certain isolation devices. Some, in the right places, can make sonic improvements to the sound. Too many, and you suck the life out of the system. It's a real balance.
Willem-What company do you represent?
