re-burn in? is there such a thing.


sorry if this appears a bit silly but i need to confirm something a friend told me. after a cdp is burned in, does it need to be re-burned if not used for a while?. a buddy told me that if you don't use the player at least once a month, it needs to be re-burned. not a total re-burn per say, just 10-20 hours is what he recommends. i've never heard of such a thing but then i'm kinda new to all this. 90% of my usage is via i-pod using the krells direct i-pod hook-up. from what i understood, a simple 10 minute warm-up is all that is needed??.

my system is: consonance turandot cdp, krell s-300i integrated, aerial 7b speakers and velodyne dd12 sub. ic cables are cardas cross with audioquest speaker wire. thanks in advance.

Whoa, both Markphd and Nsgarch, getting a little deep here, and especially after Levy said something about not "expound audiophile thingies". Guess a couple people around here must have missed that particular comment. Definely there is a difference between "burn in" and "warm up", but I think our friend Levy doesn't want to go down the overly "technical" road. Basically once your compondents are "burned in", then keeping them warm is all you really need for them deliver their "peak performance".

Once again, let your ears and your music be your guide, as they will tell you all you need to know. It ain't all that difficult nor should it be.
