Amplifier Break-In
Most amplifiers need at least 100 hours of continuous music
playback to reach their full sound signature. It is not necessary
to set up a break-in period. The amp will change character as
you listen normally and you will hear it evolve into its natural
sound signature. If you do employ a break-in period, we
recommend about 100 hours of continuous music playing with
no headphones connected and the volume set to about 10
o'clock.
Constant On
Other than the aforementioned break-in period, the amplifier
should be powered down when not in use to ensure the
longest possible life for the components.
Balanced vs. Unbalanced
To get the best performance from your amplifier, use the
balanced headphone output, as well as the balanced XLR
inputs. The amp is designed to run with a balanced input and
output. If you only have TRS terminated headphones, we
recommend that you find a way to listen with balanced
headphones before making any judgement on the performance
