please don't judge your Heed at this point of 100 hours. I found minimal improvements at 100 hours; at 200-250 was a whole new ball game. Sometimes, even now, 9 months later,
it seems to get richer and more lucid. What a great amp for
the purchase price!

i don't find any drastic improvements though. My CanAmp is hitting 200 hours but it sounds the same to me. Maybe i've been listening to it for too long...

My K701 stays on my head for almost 15 hours everyday @.@"

No No... It gets better, night and day and doubleheader baseball games better, really...

You haven't been turning it on and off, have you? It's better not to even touch the switch, really...

Only running it 15 hrs a day? Maybe that has something to do with it then...

I know mine keeps getting better and even better... But, unfortunately for comparisons sake so does my Mapletree

Enjoy~

?? so it´s not as good running 15 hours one day and 9 the other instead of 24 hours straight? How can that matter?

My CanAmp stayed on since the first day i got her. I only listens to my headphones for 15 hours a day, because i do not wear them to sleep

Maybe the CanAmp does improves day by day but i'm not aware of the changes.

Congrats friend! I'm using Canare L-4E6S with Canare F-10 RCA plugs from my 0404 PCI. It does sounds decent but i'm going to upgrade to 1212m very soon. Do keep us updated on your purchase progress ya!

@yrh0413

Hey there yrh0413, thanks for the congrats and suggestions

The Canare L-4E6S and Canare F-10 RCA are plugs? Does that mean I have to make the cable manually? Do they have any pre-made Y-cables that are good as well?

Wow 1212m, that's an EMU card I pressume? Should be great! Yeah sure, will let you know about da Canamp soon my friend!

 

[yrh0413]

L-4E6S is Canare Starquad cable, the F-10 are RCA plugs. And yes, you need to build the cable yourself, or ask a friend to do it.

My K701 will have 1626 hours of burn-in on April 30th, 12:00pm local time.

Hi,

Anyone know what current the CanAmp uses on idle? Switched on with the volume turned right down? I've been leaving mine on 24/7 lately but just wondering what kind of current she would be using, then we can work out the watts.

Also, mine buzzes if you tap it hard.

Anyone listened with the case lid off? Take the case lid off & tap it & listen to it ring. Maybe it needs some kind of damping or maybe this is a contributing fact to the excellent Heed equation.

Hmmm. I don't get any buzzing at all when mine's tapped. No matter how hard.

I noticed the buzzing on d-cee's but I thought it was because of the modifications.

QC issues?

how on earth do you keep count lol.

 

[dw6928]

perhaps a running use clock attached to the Heed? Have to get me one for all of my ridiculous burn in projects.

Easy. I'm using my PC as source, and I never off my computer. Fb2k runs in the background whenever my PC is on and my K701 is connected to the amp. The K701 will be disconnected whenever my girlfriend wants to watch movies on my PC as we use our speakers for movies.

So everyday at 12pm i'll just add [24H - movie time] to the total burn-in time. And NO, i don't keep a logbook or a clock
