Jerry,
Ahhhh, from that I gather we're talking JohnandChris then - glad you like 'em but I'm not sure I'd call them 'inexpensive' but all things are relative I guess :) .
Cheers,
Dave.

Yeah, PM me. I'm not presently aware of any issues with my sound, but I know one thing -- there is always room for improvement;)

Well call me crazy, but this burn-in business is driving me nuts. After I got all excited about the palpable improvement with the burn-in, I'm now experiencing some degradation in the sound quality with prolonged burn-in. I know I sound like a spoiled brat, but my only criterion is what I'm hearing, and right now, after about a week of burn-in time, my Bushmaster has again mellowed out and is sounding wimpy compared to the Caiman. Switching back and forth, I'm now hearing the Caiman kicking ass on the Bushman. That wasn't the case only two days ago!

So what's going on here? Why does the Bushman keep changing and morphing and flipping between being all authoritative sounding only to later on fizzle and mellow out? How much longer before it stabilizes?

Your crazy :)

Have you been taking your medication MCR?

Its the change in the weather often over looked with other non burnin factors.

mcr,
I experienced exactly the same change after about a week. It turned soft and mushy, my BM went south from there and eventually shat itself.....are you getting any crackles yet or difficulty finding sources automatically.

Bizarrely mine has just started having an issue auto-finding my source...

Oh dear! lets hope it doesn't go terminal.
