As for some of the other tracks on the disc, sweeping tones and such, I've been limiting them to once a week maximum, as per the instructions on the disc.

Best,
Ken
Very interesting. Charles Hansen in another forum awhile back recommended the Brown Noise track for breaking in equipment. I think it is Track 4.
