For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc.


Just published at Dagogo.com, my article "Audiophile Law: Burn In Test Redux". 

Validation of my decision ten years ago.  :)

You have no proof that painting that cable, or lifting it up on blocks, or burning it in, or switching it with another makes any difference at all. You only have claims.
My listening methods and experiments are not ADDING "tweaks" after buying something...

The three things you listed here are NOT my propositions but claims always discussed in all audio thread beginning with Abel And Cain....True or not, i dont even know for sure...


I propose myself simple experiments in the mechanical, electrical and acoustical dimensions... I called that controls over working embeddings dimensions not "tweaks"..

My controls devices are not secondary addition to a system, they are more powerful than the system upgrade itself...

I learn only one thing in audio: tuning a system is more important than buying a system....


I am not in a cable obsessions club either nor in the "skeptic club" but in listenings experiments...

Page upon page of philosophy and preaching, not a single bit of self reflection.
Apply this to yourself, mocking all people who dare to differ and insulting all group especially those you despisely call "audiophiles"..

i suggested to you a research paper from 3 japan physicists acoustician published in 2008 about "imaging" a concept you are supposed to understand like the "timbre" concept ... Not only you "yawned" but never read it...

I read it 2 days ago and this night make a simple original experiment that change the acoustic of my room at no cost...I will speak about it in the time to come after some others experiments...It is my last successful listenings experiment with NO cost devices....

I will wait for your criticism of their take on imaging probably till end times....

It is way better than your own take on imaging by the way...

Try to guess what is this simple experiment that i devised last night proving them right for myself...no the experiment i devised is NOT in their paper....Sorry you will need what some call thinking to figure it out.... call that homework...
😁😊😎
How do do call my talk and walking? am i stupid like all audiophiles are supposed to be?

How do you compare this article and experiment with your attack on people?

Who need self reflection here?

It is me now that "yawn" discussing with you....

In my job i advised students about their readings in their field, them they looked for truth not for dogmas....I miss all of them, not some few teachers tough, those few full of themselves....Guess who you remind me of?

Ya know Douglas, I kind of figured it would go that way.. Ya can’t do something 10% and expect 100% results. I’d say the conversation is over X two.

Null testing is as OLD as the people that use it . It is not a tool people use in critical listening. It is a tool developed for just that null testing..

I love when sound Evangelicals lock horns with Engineers. It’s just fun.

I’m not an engineer, BUT I’ve worked with quite a few. NEVER on sound, "Sound Walls", maybe. Null testing is done all the time on pre made cables used in heavy construction. 30-150K (300 pigtails). They can’t have problems with outside, RFI, EFI. or onboard issues. Besides Germans are picky.. At least the ones I worked with for years.. SLOW as hell but smart..

You’ll think NULL test when you drill through a plate of iron pyrite 15 feet thick. All your test equipment goes NUTS. Hit a magnetic plate, with a conductive drill string. NULL TESTING.. LOL Nothing on the machine test the same again... Computers shut down, WON’T reboot. Have to demag the machine and change some parts.. Anything with diodes or transistors quits working. Not often, BUT stuff happens..

Do this, open the hood of your car and wet your hands, run your hands down the spark plug wires.. LOL Go ahead... Please video.. We will all enjoy.. Null testing.. Ethan Winer, mercy HE’S DEAF....
Wires leak, 500.00 spark plug wires LEAKS, you can't null test that... BUT I can change the environment to make  a cable more conducive to LET that happen... Moisture on my hands, or in the air..

Again do this, hook one cable to the left side, turn the system to mono (older equipment has this feature) and leave the old cable on the right. It's gonna be an eye opener to a lot of folks. Switch left to right in MONO, play through BOTH. Let them play for one week.. HOOK up the right side. Can you hear a difference? Maybe not..
I CAN..

(I don’t) Douglas is starting a "CLASS" of his own. Tough at the top, lonely too.. An army of ONE. LOL (Lots of Luck) "Eeyore Redux, Army of One".

Your too nice Master mahgister. :-)

If your quoting Groucho I’m quoting Confucius.
"Man who eat jelly bean Fart in Technicolor" :-)

Respect.. That is what it means to me.....A.F. rip
Your too nice Master mahgister. :-)
Thanks but you are a gentleman and i only tried to be a little bit like you are with me and others... You observation about organ pipes was spot on thanks....

Your Confucius is more humorous than my Groucho tough, and i am afraid of competition now....😊

My best to you....
