What is the average burn-in time for the Matrix?
I happen to have two pairs of RCA interconnects: a 2965 Mogami and an Oehlbach NF1. Does anyone know if they are good enough to use with matrix?
Thanks

I'm not really a burn in believer so I will say burn in is approx. 1/2 hour, long enough to let the Matrix warm up!
 
Cables like that are good enough for the Matrix, it is NOT an ultra, hyper, super revealing amp.

The M-Stage is a solid-state device. There's no break-in time. None.

Absolutely.

Actually there is some warm up time and break in time. It has, for example, 2 large capacitors that needs usage to perform it best. Opamps also have a little burn in time.

No, that's an audiophile myth: There is no break-in time for capacitors or op-amps. Any Electrical Engineer can confirm this.

I'm listening to the M-stage right now, and I am literally using an interconnect I bought at the Dollar Store for $1.
 
It sounds OK, but I need to get a better one as it feels cheap as hell.  I normally use monoprice cables...

I sometimes buy Monster cables. They're well-made and when I find them on sale at 90% off retail, they're reasonably priced!
 
+1 for Monoprice

I'm a electrical engineer and i can comfirm that. ^-^

I've tested some rca and power cables with the m-stage, it does make a difference between cheap and quality cables.

I thought I just did that!

Anyway, they do take some time to warm up.

The electrolytic caps are in the power supply, they are not directly in the signal path.

Cheap don't always mean bad .

Of course, M-stage is relatively cheap amp, but... I just wanted to differentiate the generic/cheap and DIY/quality/relatively more expensive cables, which make an audible difference. You can't build a quality cable for $5 after all. Both the interconnects and power cables can make an audible difference with this amp!

Please "differentiate" in the Sound Science forum.
