Zen CD player break-in?... (Read 3715 times)

Mark Seasoned Member Posts: 259	Zen CD player break-in?... 11/14/12 at 23:04:33 Hello: I just received my new Zen CDP, and I'd like to know what a good break-in regimen would be for this unit... I have always just put CDPs on 'repeat all' and left them on for a few days... Can I do that with the Zen and expect no problems?... (m.)

Just some addl. comments: I'm at about 150 hrs. on the Zen CDP, and it's just starting to open up... I would say that I need at least double that to come up to speed... I did try a Telefunken 12 AU 7 'smooth plate' tube for the output, and it's doing well for what I listen to...

Also tried an Amperex 'Bugle Boy' 12 AT 7 'D foil' getter tube, which is also very good... The Telefunken has a lot of air on top, and the BB excells at imaging and depth... VR tube is Raytheon OC2...

This player has both weight and finesse... A very hard combination to attain in a CD player... It seems to defy the axiom that a tube player sacrifices detail for warmth... (m.)
