Clarity Cap CMR Impressions

hi dave,
the CMR takes around 200h for break-in and the MR ?
when both (CMR & MR) are broken-in which of the two have more improvement in sound ?
On what model (CMR or MR) the biggest changes appear ?

Hi Dave,

What measurements seem to change with break-in? The Farads seem very stable to me.

Best,

By the way, I do hear the more open and more dynamic aspects of the CMR line. I'm also saying that so far it is significantly cooler.

Imaging is not gelling either, but I have been testing asymmetrically so hopefully as they age together this will improve.

It’s been a long while since I personally went through a break-in cycle with MR, but I recall a leading OEM evaluator report that 200 hours was necessary to get to the end of it. With a more revealing cap like CMR, nuances during break-in may be more easily detected and thus appear more dramatic, when in fact they may be subtler. Sorry if that seems mysterious, but just give it time and see.

yes CMR is more revelating cap them MR, but "paradoxically", but with grace and nuance.
