i recently bought a cambridge azur 340A, at first i was not a huge fan. then after listening for a few hours i began to love this amp. people said that thi amplifier takes 36 hours to break in. how do electronics brak in theres no moving parts.

Electronics do need a break in period. It is a matter of electron flow theory to have characteristic pathways develop in the semiconductor devices, as well as the circuit traces, and even interconnects.
I have some more detail in the theory portion but will not discuss it here. The experience of the designer will give a amp its characteristic sound.

Electronics are mainly a solid state technology. There are some inherant changes that the internal components will go through during the first few hours you run them. It is alway a good idea to break in an audio amplifier.

answer one: kenwood vr-6050
6.1 surround its great and love it.
answer two: i bought mine new also and i experienced the same effect but maby its not the amp but our ears that need broken in? might have somthing to do with being a pesemest. also, it takes time to get the sound levels, EQ's, db levels, dolby mix, and remix, pro logic levels, cs delay, cs gain, true bass, center focus and all that mess set up.
but the point is that when it is all done it sounds great.
just want to add that i bought it on ebay new for 71 dollers. its probably hot as hell but o well.

Hi mate. NAD C162 Stereo Preamplifier plus Quad 306 Power Amplifier.
.Amplifiers do not need to be "broken in" This whole business of "breaking in" or in the case of cables "burning in time"has got out of control. Electronics need WARM-UP Time ,not "break in time"whatever that means.Most amplifiers warm up in 5 to 10 minutes.During this time transistors perform as they should and your system settles down to give you the best result.It is well known that valve amplifiers sound their best after warm up of about 15 minutes.
Before i have a listening session i turn on all the equipment and let it warm -up for about 5 to 10 minutes .It does sound better after a short warm-up time instead of listening with a cold start .
