Before I installed EVO Supreme's in my last amp, my 50-yr local tech gave me a recommendation I did not consider seriously until 90 days after installing them. I came close to ripping them out at the 1/2 way point. Glad I waited and grew more patience. His words were this, right after we installed the caps, quote: "
good luck and get ready for the roller coaster ride with those Mundorfs", and be prepared to ride it for at least 2-3 months.", unquote.
Nothing further from the truth.
At 90 days of serious play time, it started to pay off.
At 180 days of intermittent play, things really changed for the better.
"be prepared for the roller coaster ride". Try not to seriously listen until you've got at least 200hrs on them, no joke. The payoff comes at the end with the Mundorf EVO Supremes. Or, that's how it worked on my adventure. Yes, it was worth it but damn I almost lost my patience a few times with them.
