As a norm manufacturers send out units w/ zero or very low hours (testing). This due to the many other obligations they have.
 
Based on my listening impressions the Beta Novo may need a long burn-in period of at least 300 hours and as many as 500 hours. Mine has a tad over 300 hours and it recently changed. I will let it go about 100 hours past the last change and then I will be sure.

The short answer is I do not know.
 
Why? Well, first I need to make sure the amp is fully burnt in and not prone to change. Thus why I posted that I will let the amp go for at least 100 hours beyond the last change I hear. If this was the only thing then by next weekend I would have my final impressions.
 
However, Graham and his staff/friends have developed an tweak that improves the sound of the amp. The parts are on their way and depending on how quickly they settle ...
 
Sorry for the long answer.
Miguel

Zafonic has asked to be removed due to other committments so the UK list is now

1] that_hertz (completed)
2] Darren/Audio Elevati[on] (reaching completion)
3] ServerBaboon (next)
4] jonclancy
5] less
6] dazzer1975
7] FritzS (he's not in the UK so dazzer1975 should send back to me so I can post it on)

If any of you asked to be on the list and I haven't included you please remind me now.
