I finished building the 8600s last week and I am very impressed with SQ ! I can't imagine how great this amp will sound after everything burns in and settles down ! I have heard the tubes will take at least 200 hrs ! I also installed the Vcap CuTF capacitors and understand these take even longer ! Can anybody out there verify this to be true ? Thanks and I appreciate any comments...
If you like the sound now, you will probably like the sound after 200 or 300 hours. By then you will have forgotten about the "break in period."
