Tom, if your intent here is to suggest that the Sugarcone is shipped broken in, I'll just offer two perspectives:Structo wrote:I found this the other day when I looked it up.
Q. How many do you guys have made per run?
A. ZERO, these are hand made one at a time and NOT in runs.
Q. Are the SugarCone's Broken in when I get my cab?
A. They are broken in and tested after being made. We then test and break them in further at our facility after installation in your cab. So, yes, they are semi broken in when you receive them but still have a little time left on them for physical break in.
Q. What is the difference between the "SugarCone" and The Scholz speaker in the Harry Joyce® Issued cabinets?
A. The Current issue of the George Scholz speaker has been altered in 2 ways. 1. The S is printed on the Dust cap in Gold and 2. The Gaskets for the EarCandy OEM Scholz SugarCones are made for front loading as all of our cabinet's are front loaded.
1. I didn't order this from Ear Candy, so even if he breaks them in, mine didn't get his treatment. I think they get some very brief exposure to sound after they're made, but I can honestly say that even a couple of hours of white noise in my house made a very noticeable difference.
2. From posts at TGP, it appears that even speakers from the EC shop have some more breakin potential once they get to the end user. If these guys really do require 20-40 hours of play time to reach their potential, it would be a tall order for EC to subject them to that.
