how long should i burn in the savant?
They come pre burnt in so you can just start listening to them straight away...

whether burn in exists on BAs is subjective, however isn't burning them in whilst not listening like going on a journey on the orient express, and going to sleep the second you get on board, only to wake up at your destination??

Would be hard to compare and contrast since they both have different connectors. For what it's worth, not really. There's a noticeable change in sound from stock cable to balanced, and from balanced to amped balanced, but I feel like the differences are through the amp and not the cable itself. I bought the cable due to ergonomics than for the sound.
The Linum, although nice and thin, was horrible to use day to day. My daily routine was spending the time waiting for the bus to untangle the super thin cables and because it's so thin, it would always look curly when worn. Comfortable...but didn't want to deal with the untangling anymore. There was also some issue with pressing on the 2.5 TRRS jack where sound slightly cuts out. My wife's Linum MMCX BaX connected to a SE846 has the same issue, and it also cuts out on one of the earpieces in certain angles. Sound was fine though!
I read the K10s have a recommended burn in of 70 years. They are the first headphone that can't be fully enjoyed until after death.
Okay, so here's a couple of serious (and maybe stupid) questions, but considering how much I paid for the K10s, I want to keep them functioning properly!
1. Cleaning. How do y'all do it? Do you use the wire tool after every use? I'm a little unclear on how to use it... do you fully insert the wire into each bore and go fishing? Or do you just use it around the edges of the bores to scoop out wax that is visible on the edges? It barely fits in the smallest bore (of the three), and I don't want to damage the lacquer by forcing it too much. Also, is the brush end of the tool for straightening my eyebrows?
2. Moisture exposure. How long after a shower is it safe to put them in? Yes I bathe, sometimes even with soap. I'm assuming that the water left in my ears after a shower, plus the heat build-up caused by an inserted ciem, equals humidity which can't be good for the drivers. I usually wait about a half hour after taking a shower... is that long enough?
Any wisdom here is much appreciated. Happy Labor Day weekend to those of you in the states
I just stick the wire part in and clean, its not rocket surgery. The wire is only going in so far, heck I have even cleaned the holes with a paper clip when I am out and don't have the tool with me.
Yeah, I always wondered if there was a risk of hitting a driver when sticking the wire tool in too far. I'd always hoped the wire tool wasn't long enough to do that.

Thanks! So, BTG has a better ergonomics than Linum?
Edit: I'm also looking for a good balanced cable for K10U.
Stick 'em in your ears and enjoy!
If you must, play music on repeat when you are not listening to them.
Can't do any harm. Can't do any good either mind.
(That last is just IMHO.)
