This is what happened with my Electrocompaniet ECP-1

phono preamp I recapped with the Elna Silmic II's. I had the Nichicon KZ in there but even though it sound nice there was just something missing. I then gave the Silmic II's a try and immediately there was more musical presentation with a more quiet background and the music seem to come out from nothing. Then it took that turn to the ugly and I knew it was the break in and it seemed to take forever to clear up.

I know I still don't have 100hrs in music break in time this along with my ART 9 cartridge is still breaking in (25-35 hrs.) but it's sounding better every time I play my Vinyl. My Phono preamp doesn't have an ON/OFF switch so it stays on all the time so that has helped a some with the break in.

Once everything has passed that 150hr. stage then I will now what I have. But so far, it's going in the right direction. This phono preamp with my BAT VK-30 preamp are a great match.
