What is your routine for break-in of cd player

I played mine nonstop, alternating cd, the ayre disc and sacd's. Be prepared for mucho hours. I don't think 100hrs is close to optomized on most high end players.

I get out my disco cd's and dance the night away.

I suggest turning the player off at night, while leaving it play in the daytime. Kind of 16 hours on, 8 hours off.

The thermal stress involved during the heat up and cool down cycling seems to both speed up and make for more effective break-in.

Trelja... interesting your thoughts reflecting your experience... this seems to echo my experience with the break-in of cables: PCs, ICs, and SCs. Run them for 12 hours, chill them for an hour, resume burn-in. Seems to work well.

Coat inside and out w/ vegetable oil. Place on upper oven rack, set at 250 deg. F. Leave for 2-3 hrs. Allow to cool. Repeat thrice. Wash gently with soft sponge and mild detergent. At first, avoid use with acidic foods such as tomatoes and onions, until sufficiently carbonized.
