I had an experience with having a pair of TAB 376 pres re-caped and wasn't so sure about it afterwards.... cause I actually liked them in the first place. Soon after that I bought another pair from the same source (same batch) and after comparing them to the re-caped ones I was very sure I wanted those two re-caped as well. With every "change" you lose something as well as "gain" but after having a number of various bits of gear re-caped I sort of know more what to expect. It kind of brings "life" back into it, I never wanted to go back so far....
As for the burn in period, that's interesting. I never observed the change closely but I do normally run a signal through new gear 24/7 for at least a few days or more simply because it is not an effort and I do know what it does to speakers for example, not to mention cars etc ... It might be worth recording something before and after burn in to evaluate this... Has anybody done that? If so how would you describe the difference?
