The music has a pureness and clarity the level of which I’ve never heard before. For example, I’ve never heard Van Morrison sound so expressive. The system has a sense of ease, of rightness and it produces music ‘with great enthusiam’. The first thing I noticed is that the system is considerably more enjoyable to listen to.so what got better? Hard to say.everything as far as I can hear. So with that, I decided to give it a final little kick up its ass and left it playing music undisturbed and unlistenedto to 48 hours. Nothing specific that you could put your finger on, just somehow less beguiling, less ‘soul connecting’, less ‘perfect’.that “I’m sure it was sounding better” feeling. I obviously wrote the Statement review during that final lull in the break-in period, because not long after writing it I had a few days where doubts crept in. until it suddenly doesn’t, giving you a final WTF couple of days before emerging into the sonic butterfly its promised to be but never quite fulfilled until its absolutely ready. The sound would change day to day until finally it settles down and sounds great over a couple of weeks. The system started sounding great, then went on a roller coaster ride of frequency extreme exaggeration followed by integration and improvement.

In my enthusiasm for Innuos’s new Statement Server, it seems that I ignored a part of Audiophile errr folklore that has it that Mundorf Capacitors take an age to break in and sound their best.ĭuring the optimization of my network I installed several Sean Jacobs designed and built DC3 LPSs, which contain a bunch of Mundorfs and the break-in period was always exactly the same.
