Why no “Break in” period?

we are very good at measuring what we know to measure, but are we aware of all variables that need to be measured...and our understanding of human hearing is really not all that great, so what do we correlate our measurements with...

  Eddie,   Speaking for me only.   i hear small %% differences then in three days it's even better 

How would a High C note, played at 90db measure differently from a High B note, played at 90db, or would they look exactly the same?

Measured with an accu-tuner they would measure different. 

Well I’ll be....!

"So what was I to complain about? Finally I stopped measuring and started listening, and I realized that the capacitor did have a fundamental flaw. This is were the ear has it all over test equipment. The test equipment is almost always brought on line to actually measure problems the ear hears. So we’re always working in reverse. If we do hear something and we can’t measure it then we try to find ways to measure what we hear. In the end we invariably find a measurement that matches what the ear hears and it becomes very obvious to everybody. "

He’s putting it a little differently, but this is exactly what I’ve been saying over and over again- it is NOT on the listener to prove with measurement, not at all. The listener, what we hear, is the ultimate measure. Then and only then you can go looking for a way to measure what we are hearing. It is NOT the other way around!

Pin it to the top of every thread where someone is trying to invalidate actual human experience just because it is beyond the measure of their silly primitive instruments.

the ear has it all over test equipment.

Read it and weep. RIP, techies, RIP.
