No problem Ifor. I have just realised my succinct answer may have seemed facetious, my apologies if so. Jon

Jon, it didn't seem facetious in any way.

I've only be here a short while, but it's already very apparent how polite, tolerant and helpful all the members are.  Earlier I was reading the exchange between two members debating vinyl vs digital.  It was a joy to read; thought provoking, but never a hint of "you're wrong/I'm right".

It's a credit to all you multi-starred members.  (I almost said 'old timers', but that might offend some). Smile

It's a completely different environment from another forum I joined recently.  Just mentioning that I have a Cyrus CD player got me virtually heckled off the site!!

Let's call a shovel a shovel... "you're only as old as you feel" and I feel 57 and am 57, which is old. Wink

It's no good telling me otherwise... I had "a long paper round" Ouch

Graham, as a 55 year old I have to agree that 57 is sort of getting there.

Well I'm not as experienced as either of you but the Proprius put a youthful smile on my face! Thank you Graham. Big smile

This is my 3rd post in this thread and as I reach the 100 hour mark of burn in a new stage of testing will be done on the Proprius and Lautus. Specifically the amps will be used to drive "special" headphones! By "special" I mean:

1. AKG K1000 ear-speakers.
2. Orthodynamic headphones, Head Direct HE-500

In order to do this I will use a "pig-tail" to go from the speaker outs of the Proprius to a 4-Pin balanced plug as per the picture below. I plan on doing this next stage tomorrow, October 28. More to come …

I guess I was to impatient and had to try the new set up today at about 92 hours of burn in. Started with the Head Direct HE500 and for music I streamed John Coltrane My Favorite Things followed by Equinox. I used apple lossless files from the iMac. Very mellow and warm presentation with tight and strong bass.

I realize the location of the PSU's so close as well as the stacking of the amp plus the mess of wires is not the most audiophile configuration but I really wanted to hear the set up. I will let the unit burn in for another day before posting additional impressions. For now I leave  you with another picture.
