Nothing fancy need be done. The amp needs signal to fully break in, so just play music through it.

The break in process never ceases to amaze me. And the more exotic the components (teflon, silver, etc) the more painful/dramatic it gets but the rewards are sweeter.

Turn on, set your music library to repeat come back a few days later!

Job done


I left my Crack running 24/7 for a week once (during winter so was much cooler, burning in some caps) without any issue. I was a little paranoid about leaving it on over night the first time but placed a smoke detector on the shelf above and slept soundly after the first night.
