Somehow I haven’t been getting notices for this forum just recently, or I would have piped in earlier that my experience with SR fuses is that they take at least 250 hours to settle (with constant incoming power). That’s actually pretty good, as I find most gear takes around 300 or more.

Thanks much for the insight. They have had incoming power since I installed them. I've also kept the server playing because I figure it draws more current that way, maybe not but no harm. I know it's better than the stock fuse though I will swap them out again. Upon install it sounded really good though I could hear it still needed to burn-in. Day 2 it sounded much worse. Day 3 a little better than Day 2 but not as good as initial install. Day 4 a little better again, close to initial but not quite. Didn't listen yesterday, today will be Day 6. We'll see.
I've read everything from it needs 100 hrs to it needs 200-300. Ted Denney says 200-300 but the break-in is mild. Maybe break-in takes longer depending upon the piece of gear it's in.
That’s good for Denny, since most developers understate the time needed, usually by a lot. It really seems independent of the gear it’s in. I don’t know if drawing more current matters. With tubes, it’s just a matter of being on, so Lukasz of Lampi says, so that’s what I do and it seems to fall in that 300 hour range consistently.

The LDMS is often overlooked as the most underrated music server in the industry. For the money, you can not beat it. In my system, this component is slightly more important than my DAC. I would love to do an A/B comparison of the LDMS vs the extremely high-priced entries in the server market.T.H.E. Show | The Premier High-End Audio 2025

Actually someone already did this, comparing it to something like five other options including the Taiko.I think it's on this thread somewhere? The guiy who wrote it up ended up buying one and plugging it directly into his B&O Beolabs.
Someone did a very detailed comparison and shared his impressions on the forum:

Dr Domansky’s back in Zurich and has brought new MiniMax chassis incl. spdif reclocker and other yummy updates ... As always, great fun to have him here. Sounds killer! Went to go hear Nik Baertsch live in Zurich last night with him. He will be coming over tomorrow evening and we will try to...
