AYRE AX-5 - Manual (Page 8)

AC Power
The AX-5 may be plugged directly into an
unswitched wall outlet. Although proprietary RFI
(radio-frequency interference) filtering is built into
the amplifier, in some situations an AC power-line
filter (such as those offered by Ayre) may provide
additional sonic benefits.
Break-In
100 to 500 hours of music
played through the system will
ensure full break-in.
Due to the manufacturing processes used for the
wires, capacitors, and circuit board materials, a
break-in period is necessary for the amplifier to
reach its full sonic potential.
Each input uses a different physical path on the
input circuit board. Therefore a separate break-in
period is required for each input.
