Preamp break-in

Solid state gear need minimum 24 hrs standby to appreciate it. Older units do not have that option, newer one's do.

Teflon caps will require a long, several week long time to fully break in. I suggest not worrying about it. just use it. eventually it will sound better than it did when you got it back.         
My stereo is still breaking in the new duplex outlets. So what. I just listen to it. not special anything.

The teflon caps will need burn-in time.  Play music through the PV-11 to allow the new capacitors to burn-in.  A fine preamp.  Enjoy!

I had a CJ ET3-SE and it took about 200 hours to break in the teflon caps. Have fun w/your CJ.

Thank you for the responses.
 I’m happy with the improvement with the caps already.
 I can only imagine how much better it will be after break-in!

Yes they need to play music, but the amps don’t have to be on. :)

Set the volume level to normal listening volume. 

Break in, you know it's happened when you find your self just listening to the music and your not thinking about it any more. Happy listening.

Recapping wasn’t cheap (about $1500,) but it’s probably the best investment I could have made.  Already hearing amazing improvement.
 Like I just bought a super expensive piece of equipment.

See? This relates with your other thread regarding upgrades. Sometimes little things make a big difference.
The big question is when to stop.
And, yes, things need time to settle in. The best part is when you notice it. I never thought electronics would need a break in period, but once I actually heard it, I knew it was a fact.
Good luck.
