I wonder if the very long time breaking in might be the lower voltage/current in a preamp as opposed to a poweer amp? One reason I wonder about this is the Mundorf caps in my Canton speaker crossovers took at least the 1500hr you are talking about before they settled into the their very, very nice present sound. On the flip side, the Mundort SG coupling caps in my TU-8500 preamp seemed to have only taken 3-400hr, or so to break-in. I'm jonesing for a set of Canton 7K or 8K speakers, but the prospect of having to wait so long for them to 'strut their stuff' has me very hesitant.
