 Hi all prospective US Loaners,
 When I send you a PM on the forum about addresses and legal stuff,
Please read through the PM to find all the details.
I have tried to address all the requirements as this is a very vulnerable program.
All members of the forum are the owners of the loaner program stock.
We are all responsible for it’s safety and care, and to share with other forum members.
This is how Graham Slee himself set up the program.


 You will find a definite sound improvement using any of Graham Slee's designs for a particular function.
Graham Slee designs all of his audio circuits with sound quality and longevity as his primary objectives… built to last. 
 The range of MM phono stages he makes is as follows, lowest quality and least cost first to best quality and most costly:
Gram Amp 2 - Communicator
Gram Amp 2 - Special Edition
Jazz Club
Era Gold V
Reflex M
Revelation M, a Reflex M with adjustable LP EQ
Accession M, with variable output level control and adjustable LP EQ
Accession MC, with variable output level control and adjustable LP EQ

 Michael Fremer did a great review on the Era Gold V.
He also did a review of Graham Slee's Reflex M.
Graham designed the Reflex to have faster "reflexes" to improve detail and it replaced the Era Gold V as his flagship model at that time.
The Reflex M is built on the same pcb as the Era Gold V.

 When I joined this forum, I was looking for a phono stage to improve my system. Separate phono stages are great for doing just that. In 2010 to 2011, Graham Slee was just coming out with his Reflex M when I had borrowed the Gram Amp 2, Special Edition. I was blown away with how that sounded. Then I tried the Reflex M and WOW happened. I did hear those "faster reflexes" as promised.

 When the opportunity arose for a new US Loaner Program coordinator I jumped on it. I now can borrow all of his units and find I still love the Reflex M. (I haven't had a chance to truly audition the Accession M since other forum members keep it out so much there is a waiting list 2 to 4 deep constantly.) The Reflex M is also very popular. It is the only unit that there are 2 of in the US Loaner stock.

Here to help,
Bruce

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?

I just moved the above post here because it needs to be in the US Loaner Program forum. Thanks.

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!Tongue
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.

               [I wish there are emoticons for pleasing sound and wonderful sound.]

Surely if it's the Loan Programme unit, then it will have been "burnt in" already and just needs a day or so of being powered on to "stabilize".
Whatever the situation, remember that it will only get better with time.
I'm sure you'll enjoy the sound from the off.

Happy Listening
Ian
Just listen, if it sounds good to you, enjoy it.
