I spoke to Alex Brinkman (when he was there) and he told me that each volume setting uses a different resistor that moves into place and each one needs to get broken in.

I typically use certain sound level settings down low or when I have the desire to crank it up. The bottom line is it does sound superb out of the box but after breaking in which could take 400 plus hours it really did blossom at least in my system.
