  Hi,
  if you have standard Black Gate, at least 200 hours. During this time all other components will be fully break in. If you have non polar BG N series, at least 500 hours in my experience.
  Regards,
  Beto

    i also used fk caps but not sure how long break in took
    
    to me mine sounds very clear and without boominess, but i guess it depends what you are comparing it to (what was your old one ?)
    
    it may be that there is just more bass and there is now a balance in your system you don't immeadiatly like
    
    probably best to wait and see what happens ?

    To my ears it sounds good a little thinner then my old preamp
    and the bass is a little more boomy
    and the sound is not as clean but the L3 has more detail.
    But i talking here about a new just building kit
    my old amp was 2 years old
    i have also used different wire instead of the Audio Note signal cable this is in back order
    i use now 0,4 mm solid silver (26 awg)

      Don't worry! I bought 2 kits (DAC2.1 Level C and PreAmp L2) from Brian last month and both of them had missing parts. Brian ordered the missing parts from www.partsconnexion.com and directly sent them to me.
