JIm,
Great to hear that the Sonographes are working out so well for you.

You're right in that components that have not been used for some time often require "re-breakin". And some folks will say that even when cables have been disconnected or moved, they need time to "settle".

When I got my Dynaudio Contour S3.4s from a Dyn dealer, they had been sitting in his showroom unused for some months. When I first got them, they sounded dark, muffled and laid-back, and not as good as my lower spec Audience 72s.

As Dyns are notorious for needing at least 300 hrs of break-in from new, I figured the Contours might need "re-breaking in"....sure enough, after several hours of playing dynamic music, mostly full-scale classical symphonic, the Dyns really ran in again and started to open up.
