burn-in for bc evo4

how much/long burn-in is required, if any?

I've been offered one s/h that's hardly been used.

 

IMHO 200 hours running, you could ask Penance, he ran a new one in.

 

thanks, I feared as much! just under 10 days continuous then. how is that done for best results? do I play loud and detach speaker cable?

 

No, just wind er up and let her rip , seriously if you can put a more serious load on her then do (Ie a lot of dynamic swings in the music) connected to the speakers. I'm lucky I just leave them on all day at work in a dead room.
Leave it on during the day through the radia or such Like.
I will say this when I had my Deceade I needed a pre to get the best from it when hooked up to the B/c,
Run balanced also and don't forget to hit the dip buttons at the back panel. . Wm

 

OK, thanks.

btw, my strategy has to go without a pre, and I would hope that the evo does need help beyond the signal it gest from the Decade. As to balance, well that upgrade to my Decade will have to wait.

Now the button on the back ... that will be interesting experiment. Yes, I could bridge, but the epos es22's were designed to be bi-amp'd. So some A/B tests ahead.

 

You have to bridge Ditton, its a no brainer, just use jumpers to the other terminals.
Bridged is so much better than the using the 4 amps individualy. by a long way.
Those epos will now get a serious shot in the arm LOL. Wm

 

so that's the default then. I canhear both you and Gary drumming fingers ...

 

if you dont buy the evo4 push your dealer my way , I'm in the market so to speak.
