Masseto break-in time


I just installed the Masseto today and have thus far been playing FM and vinyl, because the Wadia is back in Saline ror its second repair in ten months. Can any experienced users advise me how long it will take for the Masseto to open up ?

I really noticed a huge improvement in mine at around 150 hours. Incredible preamp!
ha ha ha, very funny. BTW - ya know anyone who might need their dCS Scarlatti broken in ?
That's about when the Sophia 3's will completely open up - maybe I can plan it for Christmas Day. Already, the detail it captures from even non-audiophile LP's is jaw-dropping.

Yes, if the Massetto in is like my Monbrison, you should be enjoying it very much within the first few notes. What amp are you using to drive the Sophia's. Art Dudley drove the
the Sophia 2's w/ Corton-Charlemagne's and a Massetto in
his Sophia review. What cartridge are you using. Congrats
on the Massetto.
