Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

I would still think cabling, solder etc, but as there is virtually nothing on this design I have no idea really if it would benefit from run in. I personally think passives can cause issues and spotlighting and tonal thinness are among those issues.
Done a search and the lack of anything out there regarding this, even the makers single page is woefully inadequate in my opinion. According to a thread on Audio Karma lack of gain can be an issue
And according to the maker, using it, it gets better.

'Spotlighting'?

Again this could be the case of increased transparency showing up colourations further up the chain. There's no reason a passive would be the cause of this, it should be more faithful to the source, at least in theory. Not had this issue with any passive I have tried.

It needs mains power to work but if there is nothing in the signal path it can't be adding any gain, which makes it passive, doesn't it?
