I am buying my Hi-Fi devices in a shop since 87... they suggested me the 220 pro amplifier, when I decided to upgrade my previous amplifier, a Audio Analogue Fortissimo, as I felt that it sounds fine but there was some space to improve the sound quality of my setup... I have the PROAC D20R loudspeakers and the MIT MH-750-HE loudspeaker cables... I listened a 220 pro in the shop and it sounded great... but at my room, the new 220 pro is not sounding as great as I was expecting...

Our rooms are sure to be different, but I always got great sounds from the combination of the D’s and Proacs.(25-Dec-2017, 14:30)NickB Wrote:(24-Dec-2017, 01:51)tavares Wrote: Hello! Give it some time and either your ears will get used to the amp or it’s SQ will change with more use. 220 pro - first hours and disappointed - Fragoulisnaval - 25-Dec-2017 I do not remember much about burning on, me D200 is three years old now BUT I have noticed that the SQ changes while playing, especially fron syand by and for the first half an hour approx. The SQ stabilizes when the A amp temp reaches mid 40s. Check it out during your next listening session Στάλθηκε από το ALE-L21 μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk RE: 220 pro - first hours and disappointed - Baldoun - 25-Dec-2017 (25-Dec-2017, 22:00)Fragoulisnaval Wrote: I do not remember much about burning on, me D200 is three years old now BUT I have noticed that the SQ changes while playing, especially fron syand by and for the first half an hour approx.

If the device is brand new it really needs 100 hours of play first. The difference is considerable Merry Christmas. My experience is the amps needs many more hours than you would think and I have a hunch that it takes time for the synergy of the amp with your speakers of choice to click, meaning if you were to change out your speakers you would need to go thru with that break-in all over.

RE: 220 pro - first hours and disappointed - kompressor - 28-Dec-2017 I don’t hold much sway with burn in to be honest, when I switched from Naim to Devialet there was an immediate impact and change for the better in sound quality, gone was the rather bland and lacking detail Naim sound to a forthright detailed highly engaging sound full of life and detail, imaging, tonal quality Naim could only dream of. Maybe Devialet is just not for you, and that’s ok we are all different. 220 pro - first hours and disappointed - TDA - 30-Dec-2017 My old d200 took 4 months to fully break in. The first 2 months i was ready to Throw it out the window. But after 4 months it changed Like Night and Day. So trust us... it will get much much better. RE: 220 pro - first hours and disappointed - tavares - 31-Dec-2017 Hello! Thank you very much for all replies so far. Well, after one week, I can confirm that the sound quality is getting better. I can also confirmed that the power cord has influence on the sound that we get from the amp, particularly if we use a coord fully break in. |
