I have just received a Graham Slee Era Gold under the US Loaner program.  So far it sounds really good.  But I am told the burning takes at least two weeks. My question is… Would a burn in time still be necessary if I was played by previous customers in the loaner program?

Is two weeks the minimum?

And does burn in mean just plugged in?  Or actually fed Audio?

What sonic improvements can I expect after two weeks?

You are partially right.
The burn-in time of a used loaner will only take longer than a couple of days when the unit is powered off longer than a day or two.
 I believe the burn-in is enhanced by playing some music through a device.
Some like to wait a couple of days. I say, play music as soon as you wish to, it can only help IMO.

 The point is... enjoy the music!
The sound will improve the longer it is powered up and should be burned-in at a maximum of 2 weeks from brand new... sooner if already used.

Sound advice. My advice to borrowers is generally to power up and give the loan gear a day or two to settle down before serious comparisons but start enjoying it straight away. I'll reflect on Bruce's good advice about the benefits of allowing a little longer.
