Something occurred to me. As reported elsewhere, Devialet measure their amplifiers using lab equipment. Therefore, surly they must know if the amplifiers need 'burn in' time, they would be able to observe this phenomenon in their lab tests. So, I decided to send a query to the Temple of Truth. To this query, I have received a clear response.:
'Our amplifiers actually do not need any running time. I did double check with team of engineers which did confirm this information.
Regarding your second point, we indeed have measurements that cannot unfortunately be communicated at the moment.'
So there you have it! Issue solved and closed. They do not need running in time, we are all imagining it, or at least it is part of the psychological journey of having new kit.
(Although I suspect that this issue may not be closed)
