Here's a pic of a 17.1uF Duelund Cu & oil cap I used to modify the Maggie 3.6 ribbon tweeter XO. I played the speaker for over 300 hours or three months. No dice on break-in. The only way I could break this in was to burn it in on an Audio Dharma cable cooker. Ran it for 8 days straight.
My ARC preamp with Big Teflon caps really did take 600 hours to fully break in just as ARC said it would. Couldn't cook these.
Of course, these are the extreme and are not normal parts!!!!
