"Burn in" Are you serious?


Tell me. How are you able to compare the "burned in" state to the original? Or is it simply a matter of acclimation nurtured by wishful thinking?

And how come my buddy says he enjoys music on my gear, is he just humouring me? Or does listening to each others' stereo three times in the last three months constitute burning our brains in. Something does not compute.
I think that you may be on to something Redkiwi. While many burn in beleivers think that they have been upgrading their systems all of these years, they have in reality been doing just the opposite. May as well just chuck it all in and go back to the crystal radios of our youth. I wonder if they can be tweaked, upgrade the crystal, find a taller floor lamp to clip it to...
After stumbling upon their great concert a few weeks back, I recently bought some CDs of THE BURN SISTERS, a trio of folk/rock/country/blues genre-bending crooners who spout forth 3 part harmony with genetically-coded ease so satisfying that my wiggling has caused burn-in of the upholstery of my listening chair! Check 'em out (Philo Records), and happy holidays! Ernie
Jostler3, you are right, I do not have a technical reason why burn-in exists, I have never seen God but that does not mean God does not exist. If you had experienced what Perfectimage did with the two pre-amps would that have convinced you of burn-in or do you need the reason for burn-in to be explained and some how, if possible, scientifically explained. In other words, would you believe what you heard. I think debating this is silly when you can take the time, if you really wanted to and do the comparison yourself. I hope you don't think I am trashing your views, I am not. As you pointed out, I do not have an explanation for burn-in. I don't need one cause I hear it.
