Phono cartridges usually need a running-in period to reach their full sonic potential. This can take anything from 40 to 100 hours, depending upon the manufacturer, design and construction of the phono cartridge. This Clearaudio Cartridge „Break In“ Test Record is a unique tool. One of its features is to play an endless groove cut with pink noise, which significantly reduces the length of the break-in period.
