14 BURN-IN RODAGGIO Long and exhaustive listening tests have shown that the best sonic performance is obtained after a “burn-in” period of at least 100 hours. Once the unit is fully “burnt-in”, best sound quality can be obtained after about 30 minutes warming up. Lunghe ed approfondite prove di ascolto hanno dimostrato che le migliori prestazioni sonore si ottengono dopo un periodo di "rodaggio" di almeno 100 ore.
