I do believe in break in. The settling part was kind of new to me. Whenever i have a new component in my system, the first thing I do is play a couple of songs that are familiar to me for a couple Days. One of them is alison krauss “gravity”, not only do i love This song, but her voice err on the sibilant side if i have an unba- Lanced system — bright to be exact. When i bought a new set of Speaker wires and interconnect i could definitely tell that my new Ancilliaries are “breaking in” due to to the gradual softening of the “Zzzzzzzz”, mind you i dont listen to the bass, soundstage width or Depth or other changes that may occur. I just concentrate on the Voices lower mids. People might think that we just “get used to or adapt” to the new Sound, but in my humble opinion changes sometimes depends On your system’s tranparency, and sometimes this “tranparency” Is directly proportional to equipment cost. The higher the price— The more revealing it becomes. People tend to malign our own “perception and hearing” based On their system — this is where the problem lies, “their system”. Im not here to argue or insult anybody’s equipment implying “ you dont hear it because your system is cheap”, this is my Humble opinion based on climbing a ladder that i see has no End. |

I live in a mountainous area where lightning and thunder is A pain in my arse. In fact, my house got hit by lightning twice Last year, luckily i was there to unplugged everything before It happened. So my primary goal for the conditioner is more on its “protection” Benefits rather than what it will bring sonically. I do believe you are wrong when it comes to “break in”, im not Here to argue and i did answer my opinion to —audio 1’s— post. That opinion was based on my personal journey. Now for the power isolator..... it’s already boxed and ready To go back to the dealer...this thing is not for me sonically. |

Should I even mention I had over $30k of gear destroyed with the surge protection in place during a nasty lightning storm? Yeah, that happens...
Best protect yourself with real "professional" products at the panel. |

I have 4 layers of surge protection in each one of my homes. My Florida home literally took a direct lightning strike on the roof peak.
It blew the Tiles right off the roof; Firemen responded, and checked all the walls with thermal scanners for any signs of hidden fire. Luckily no fire, and even more amazing not a single piece of audio gear was harmed. Total damage was a single wall dimmer, and a PlayStation that’s all.
