Is Burn In time influenced by amp volume?

I’ve had my Bartók Apex for a week now and It’s already sounding amazing.
I have decided to let it burn in naturally, rather than use the accelerated feature.
If I’m going out shopping, or popping out for a pint (or two, or three😀) I will select Radio in the Mosaic App and play music at a low level.
Is the ‘Burn In’ time influenced by the volume level of the power amp?

Just to confirm, at present I am using a Naim 282 Preamp and a Naim 300DR power amp. (This set up could well change in a couple of months if I decide to bin the Preamp and upgrade the power amp).

Thanks

You say that you are burning in Bartok Apex. The power amp is a different unit and has no effect on Bartok. I think that you are confusing system burn in with your new Bartok. Your Naim units, unless new, are presumably already burned in.

Hi Pete…Thanks for your reply.

I thought the Bartók needs to throw out a signal to the pre/power to Burn in? Or, is it the case the Bartók just needs to be powered on?:thinking:

Yes, all the other components including the Kudos 606 speakers are well Burnt in.

Bartok needs to be turned on and playing. So radio is a good idea.However the Bartok output stage may need a connection to complete the circuit but that does not mean that there need be any volume.

…or that the preamp / power amps even need to be turned on.
