Preamplifier burn in

Hi Ladies and Gents

Is it OK to burn in a new tube preamplifier using a cd player on repeat but have the power amplifiers turned off,

Appreciate your help

Thanks
Dino

I don’t see a problem with that
if you don’t mind logging unused music hours on your tubes.

Yeah thought as much, only pre stage tubes, not concerned about the tubes just want everything embedded as the pre is brand new

Thanks Mark, appreciated

I know right best CD player I have ever heard, incredible!

Demo it and within minutes ordered one, amazing how much detail it retrieves from rebook

I hear you
Luxman really did their homework on this player. It took a bit of time to settle in but man it does so much right
and so little wrong.

The ROHM dac chip is very special, she doesn’t sound digital at all, smooth, transparent and soooo engaging,

The pre amp I have added is the CL-1000 hence the burn in question, received her on the 23rd of December after 7 months waiting, but straight out the box it’s exceptional, just need to put some burn in hours on her

Thank you again for your advice

Deano

How do you like the Prima Luna amps?

12

Love them, superb with KT150s, I run fully active with Klipsch La Scala’s II’s, using a xilica XP4080 crossover, so one stereo power amp for tweeters one for midrange and a solid state amp for bass, so a little different :flushed:

I see you use shunyata power conditioning, how do find it

I had a Prima Luna Dialouge Premium preamp which was a superb performer too. I now own the Coda Technologies 07x pre that is over the top excellent


I’m a huge fan of Shunyata products. I recently added the Everest and it takes everything a system has to offer to the next level. For me
quiet ac performance is one of the huge system upgrades that can take a stellar system over the top in musical performance. Can’t recommend it and their power cords enough

Cool, I’m running IsoTek’s full loom, love it as I went up the chain things got better and better, broke the bank though, but hey you only live once lol

I share your love of Luxman products.
It’s just a “thing” with me but I never leave tube gear on when I leave the house or overnight.
I know you’re talking about a preamp, but how warm does it get?

Hey Ron

Happy new year, the pre amp doesn’t get too hot and would never leave it on if we left the house, the CL-1000 isn’t an all tube pre amp, here is a photo under the hood :grin:
