I have had news from JC himself that I am expecting, so to speak… my Accession is almost ready (I’m like a kid in shoe shop… wait, that’s not right) and I have ordered the Enigma to boost my joy.
As this is my first decent phono stage, and my first GS product - I can’t imagine John doesn’t include a comprehensive set of instructions and guidelines - but I wonder if anyone has any pro’ tips?
Should I leave it switched on for the first three months, do I need sunglasses when unboxing, can exposure to audio excellence make me blind?
Any personal experiences and tips greatly appreciated.

Leave it powered on 24/7.

Is it MM or MC and what cartridge are you using?

The manual is good. I'd stick with the RIAA setting till you're used to the preamp. But do check your cartridge's recommended load as the MM version lers you add more capacitance if needed. What cartridge do you use?

The sound will develop during burn-in for a couple days and mature within a week or two.
