I just ordered this cMoy amp, except bought it directly instead of bidding. I will be getting it in the mail soon and can't wait to test it out with my UE super.fi 5 pros.

My question is, does an amp like this require burn-in? If so, about how much time until the sound smoothes out to its full potential? Thanks for your help.

Might wanna close your WTB thread, lol. My CMoy sounded fine on first test.

Just plug it in, listen to it and enjoy it!

 

[Riku540]

I take it that I'm set to go. Thanks everyone! Can't wait!

Be prepared for the beginning of the end.

I hope you have a fat wallet sir

Ah, so he meant a good thing as in the whole "Curse you Head-Fi!" thing? Sorry, slow on the uptake here. Welp, guess I should give my wallet one last kiss goodbye.

Yeah, (in a cryptic way) I was saying you are gonna have a blast when you hear your headphones through that Cmoy amp. If it has the same effect on you that it did to me, be ready for purchases of more amps/headphones. Before you know it you will have a nice collection going

Then you can post on the msg board along with me and curse everyone here!

Have fun with your new amp, and be sure to let us know what you think of it!

 

[Riku540]

Will do!

Lol, let me calculate. In the 3 weeks I've been here Head-Fi has emptied my wallet to the tune of $500. Bloody Hell!

Hopefully, when everything I've bought has come I'll be cured of upgraditus for a bit!

doubtful.

In theory, maybe, in practice, probably not. For me, I initally way back when said a baseline HD650 only, but that truned into HD650 woodied with aftermarket cable. And what was to be the G-Lite truuned into a Hornet reservation and probably upcoming a MPX3.

If I'd have thought I might have got the HD650 instead, but I'd have to get a good amp sometime anyway. When my savings recover I'll be after a new PC tower first, then save up a bit and maybe get an HD650. My Cardas cable fits on the HD650 too.

Does anyone know, will my Zen Touch/SM3 be man enough to drive 650s. I mean 580s sound awesome.

Ooh just had a thought, my HD580s are still very desirable and well burnt in, bet I could get a decent price for them...if I can part with them, its seems a hard task for a lot of people!

That's the same seller who made the cmoy that I was selling. It's a good amp for that price. It opens up the soundstage, improves the bass. Works well with low impedence cans.

Beware of upgradeitis! I started at that cmoy, then the pocket amp and now I'm already looking for my next upgrade.
