Default 'running in' new h fi equipment


"Robert" wrote in message
om...
My new Cambridge Audio amp and tuner both carry instructions that the
unit should be run continuously (playing music) for 36 hours "to get
it performing at its best".

Does anyone know what such 'running in' is supoposed to do?

I made a Gainclone (lots of info on Google) I didn't believe that an amp
would get better with use, and listened to mine for nearly a whole day after
I'd made it, to begin with it sounded a lot worse than my previous amp but
by lunchtime was just as good, by teatime it was in another league
altogether.

Also I didn't believe that if you changed a component the sound would alter
but it does that too, lots of people have, like me, said its all a load
crap, until they tried it.
