2004年1月19日 · In my experiences, I've found that my HT receiver sounds a bit smoother after a good break in. To me, a good break in consists of several weeks, containing some easy tasks (background music) and a bit of a beating (pick an action flick and crank it). I've no scientifically-based, oscilliscope tested proof for this, just my ears.

2008年1月21日 · Some receivers have decent tone controls that do a better job of matching the ear's nonlinearities than you will get from pushing the sub volume up. The ears interpret low frequencies at typical home listening levels (85 db peak) as being 6 db lower than the same frequencies when played at theater levels (105 db peak).

Home receivers can theoretically last 30-40 years based on the quality of the hardware. However, due to the rapid advances in home theater technology, the typical lifespan of a home receiver is around 5 years. You could make your home receiver last 10 years if you planned your purchase.

Both started to develop power or amp failure in approx 5 years. I hardly use them, with an average use of 5 hours per month. Is this just how the quality of AVR is? I'm wondering if brands like Yamaha will live longer. Update: AVR were well ventilated as they were placed on top of an IKEA Lack side table.

2006年4月16日 · It seems most audiophiles are convinced that equipment break-in is beneficial to sound and that new components will always sound better after 100 hours or so of use. Here is the problem I have with this: 1. One has to assume that the new equipment will undergo some kind of internal "change" in order for the sound to change.

How long does a home theater receiver last? Although the answer to this question is “until it breaks”, a home theater receiver should realistically be replaced every 5 years or so. If you’re not as bothered by advances in technology, then you could probably squeeze 10 …

2023年4月18日 · In summation, when considering these factors, this means they could last anywhere from 6ish years from a feature standpoint, to 20 plus years physically, though it varies ultimately. The accumulation of dust in your receiver is …

2003年9月6日 · Break-in would be the period of time that causes changes to a device's operating characteristics/functions (either subjectively or objectively) due to the amount of running time from the date of first construction. Burn-in is a timed quality control procedure to test for component failures from the date of first assembly.

2010年8月7日 · Use it to ensure all the receiver's attributes are all functioning properly. If something is going to break, it will likely do it sooner rather than later.

2005年11月7日 · I wasn't expecting miracles out it, but I was tired of fiddling with the erratic connections on my old amp, a Yamaha CA-1010 Class A/AB amp weighing about 60 pounds that uses electricity like a space heater. I wanted something reliable, and if it didn't use as much electricity, that would be nice, too.
