In Reply to: RE: how long is the burn in and break in period for Grado RS2e posted by bullethead on January 06, 2016 at 07:03:45
50 hours for burn-in is way more than enough, IME.In addition to playing many different types of musical genres, try running a demagnetizing frequency/amplitude sweeper such as the Densen DeMagic disc at least once or twice during your 50 hour burn-in period. Do this, and your new headphones will have been through every imaginable type of load.

I have been running classical and gangster rap for the past couple of hours.
thanks for the recommendation. I will be playing some esoteric noise music albums too in anticipation of these cans outliving me.
Be sure to run some disco through it for burn-in as well. Just to cover all bases. ;-) Enjoy.Oh, let us know what you think of the setup. I'm really curious about the Schiit as I may want to get a headphone amp. Mine is OK but I'm noticing some intermittent noise.

You could try these folks if you want a nice versatile ss amp. I am using their Ember tube amp, with an adapter with dual 6J5g's. Accepts alot more tubes to roll, and lots of different adapters to try, 6Sn7's, 9 pin lots of fun, using a pair of Visseaux 6j5's now and they are tops
.
Abe, I'm getting no noise on the Schiit Vali 2. It is on the low gain setting.
Sorry to hear about the noise, that tube headphone amp you have showed us a picture of looked really cool.
I compared Schiit Vali 2 directly to Audioengine D1 headphone out.
Schiit sounds warmer, and the highs more liquid.
We are supposed to only live one time, pull the trigger. They have a good warranty, looking at my unit it seems well built. I don't have more than 1 days experience with it. However I am impressed. Also anytime I can do business with an American company I am all in. However rare that is nowadays, sadly.
I've been listening all day to the setup, it is nice.
The Grado RS2e sounds so much better than the SR 60, and much much more comfortable. And even better, after a few more hours it is supposed to sound even better.
Thanks for the mini review. I wouldn't mind getting a better tube headphone amp but to be honest, I have very little space left on my computer desk so I'm leaning toward SS so I can stack some junk on top of it. ;-)
Cool, my desk is always a mess. I work from home sometimes, then it is even messier.
This pile on top of another pile. RSA keys all over the place, it is nuts.
Good luck in your quest for a headphone amplifier.
