Shunyata Zitron Python Burn-In?

Thanks to all for your input. I'm only about 24 hrs in so by all accounts a long way to go. While I can certainly understand Guido's appreciation for the process, I guess I'm just to impatient. My source, (Cary Audio 306 Pro CD/SACD player) is a few years old so I'm a little reluctant to rack hundreds of hours on it as a burn in mule. With such lengthy break in time required I think it would a nice service if Shunyata did a couple of hundred hours of burn before shipping. I guess they don't because they don't have to. Thanks again.

There may be some to-ing an fro-ing but overall if you listen steadily it'll creep up on you; in two weeks you'll be deep into listening and suddenly realize how good they sound. You made a nice choice, especially in getting the SCs; these distortion reducing signal cables are a revelation and the Python is the value sweet spot in the current lineup.

I've found a break in CD, like the Purist Audio helps speed the process along for signal cables...I can understand your point about a break in mule if you're burning time on your tubes also...Good luck ! Let us know how it goes!

Sorry, I simply have no desire to listen to any music until there's at least a hundred hours on the new tubes, new cables, new fuse, whatever. I use the XLO Test CD break-in track.

Hi Geoff, do you find it more effective to playback a branded break-in track like XLO 24/7, rather than doing the same using an FM tuner tuned to interstation hash?

Saluti, Guido
