    HALO amplifiers need breaking-in period?

    I've read several reviews on the HALO line by now, every one positive to one degree or another, without exception. One thing I've found to be a common thread is reviewers saying that they first hooked up the Parasound HALO amplifiers, took a listen, and thought it sounded nice, but not stellar. But after a few days/weeks, the sound noticeably improved to an exceptional level.

    I find this to be interesting. Is this a truly common thread? If so, what would be the physics behind this that would cause sound to be improved with initial use?

      Yes its very common. I'm not sure on the physics involved (we need jon to answer that one) but it might have something to do with the large cap's in the amps...just a guess.

          I've had my A51 and A21 amps (thanks to BHuskins) for about 2-3 weeks now, and I have definately noticed a warming up and sweetening of the amps sonic qualities. And I assure you it's not just my ears becoming "accustomed" to the sound.

              Parasound "Classic" vs. Halo
              by jrd
              I'm interested in any opinions or knowledge of any real differences between the "classic" line (for lack of a better term) and the new Halo amplifiers. After carefully comparing the numbers on the Parasound website, there seem to be very few differences between the specs of the A51 and the...

              New 3-channel Halo A 31 Amp
              by Chris D
              News from CES. Kinda cool, for when you need more than an A 21, but less than an A 51. Looks like it's not just matched to the A x1 amp series in power, but more like the A 21 than the A 51 in construction.

              Now where's those CD 1 players?
