RE: How many music hours are now on the Silmic II caps?

Yeah that's what I'm experiencing so far. The first day was just dreadful, to the point that I thought I had broken something!!! No life, no dynamics, muffled treble, and image collapsed in a flat plane between the speakers... horrible! Then it opened up, then it became dull again..; now it's more open but stil it sounds nasal and a bit weird. I guess they have roughly 40 or 45hours of playing so far, so I'm not quite there yet. I leave my preamp on 24/7 (just as the rest of my electronics) but I did turn it on and off quite a few times since I heard it helps with burnin-in; I believe, tho, that leaving on isn't burning, right? there needs to be music playing! so i'm about 40 hours. i will give it more time before I decide...

thanks!
