Hi everyone,

I've just received this set brand new and I'm wondering how long its burn in time might be. Are there folks out who want to share their experience about this issue with me?

Hello!
I asked some friends who have Stax sets.The most significant changes happen in the first 100 hours. Hope that helps :)

Thank you, your input helps me a lot to estimate its current performing status. My set has about 25 to 50 hours until now but it acts like a burning glas when evaluating the quality of differnet interconnects :)

Many people stress over burn-in, but you know. It's gonna happen anyways. Just enjoy your new toy :)

I agree. Your question about burn -in implies you were expecting something that has yet to materialize.it could be your expectations were unwarranted. FWIW I suggest you assess what you have. r hope it meets your needs.
I don't think you meant to quote me, but the OP :)
But yes, burn-in won't turn the device inside-out. The first few hours can have big changes, but then it's basically smooth sailing.
