Are You A Disciplined Audiophile?


The issue of whether break-in is real aside for now, when you make a change in your system, such as a new component or cable, do you have the discipline to wait before making any other changes?  I usually mark my calendar for a month and perhaps 2 months and try to change nothing else for that period of time so I can better assess exactly what the new thing is doing. But sometimes it’s difficult to wait. IMO, break in is a real thing, both in the component and the listener, but even if you don’t believe components and cables change after a few days, can you wait at least a month to listen to enough music to adjust your ears to what the new thing brings to the system on its own?

Another thread that has attracted that same....tired...droning sound. Is there anywhere free from that repeating siren?

Comparison auditioning - buy 2-3 products representative of various designs and compare them at the same time - is more effective IMHO.

The only "break" that I take is to wait a week or two and come back to it with fresh ears and see if it sounds the same as before. If there is a question of break in affecting sound, I will use that time to run in the components.

That is something else. While hearing differences can be done quickly, changing preferences takes longer. For example, if you only listen to tubes, your first listen to class D may be negative.

I am not angry i speak my mind ...😊

Feel free to contradict the content of what i said ...😊

I am not personal as you are it seems ... People who gives ad hominem attacks against someone dont gave arguments as i did ... You attacked me with personal grudge because you misinterpreted my "politics" but you were frank and said it frankly , unlike hilde45 who hate me because he is unable to answer to my arguments since the beginnings ...And repeat for one year here the same criticism about my english mastery ...

And only narrow mind can have "fun" with childlike content as adhominem attack  by the way have fun then ...

I prefer philosophy ... 😊

 

@hilde45 and he’s getting angry and personal. "fun"

 

Are you not there too for the same reason as me ?

Discussions ?

Are you able to contradict any of my points ?

Go forget hate and think with your brain dear corrector known around the world .. 😊

Did i ever boast myself about my reputation as an intellectual here ?

No...

Trust me i could , i am a bit more than a corrector ...

But i like people here and i use arguments in any threads no ad hominem attack first and last or ego boasting ..

Few days ago you come insulting me again in a thread where i posted 7 articles a book and videos about an acoustic revolution in the world of science, have you understood a line ? Have you think about it ? No you are so mean because hate makes us idiot you insulted me few times and goes away ... Now you came back always with NO ARGUMENTS against any of the matter i put in front of your nose ..

 

Enjoy your child hateful postings harassing habits against me probably because of inferiority complex ...Consult a psy ... 😊

 I never criticize someone here without giving logical, philoso-phical and acoustical and musical  arguments first and last ...You acted not as me you acted with hypocrisy ..I cannot stand hypocrisy...
