I finally go 'round to rolling another set of op-amps in my Go-Vibe V5S. Is there a burn-in period for op-amps one should get through before evaluating them against the stock set?

Doubtful. I've occasionally seen in datasheets, however, that the particular op-amp performs best after running for 30-60 seconds. However, this doesn't seem to be generalisable otherwise it probably would be noted in general (and it isn't).

Thanks, Filburt!

Any other thoughts?

From rolling new opamps into a well burned-in PPA, I've found that I needed to run the new opamps between 7 hours (AD8610's) through 10-15 hours (OPA627's) and as high as 30 hours (AD8065's) before they had reached their full clarity and fullness of sound. I have no explanation to offer for this. It's just what I've heard.

Its important if you think you hear a difference, imaginary or not. 'You' is the key word here
