Burn in question.
Natas -- Wed, 12/31/2008 - 08:01
Do AVR's have a burn in period or break in period like speakers do? I've been curious about this and have heard both yes and no on other forums. I figured if anybody would have a straight answer, you guys would. BTW, I love reading TAS!! Keep up the great work and thanks in advance for all responses!
It really depends on the particular piece of gear.
Some electronics have a break-in period when new. Most electronics have a warm-up period during which they will sound better once warm. Also most electronics will, if left unplugged for a block of time, require a break-in and warm-up to sound optimal again.

Thank you sir! That's what I wanted to know. I'm waiting on my new avr, a Pioneer VSX-1018AH-K, to arrive and was wondering if it would require said break-in. I guess I'll find out on Friday. :)
I would like to know the pros and cons when using an AVreceiver as a preamp would you recomend an audiophile power cord on this gear (Yamaha 2500receiver) (Rotel 1075 5ch power amp)?
