Turboglo and Vhiner, most reviewers don't have the benefit of manufacturers coming to their listening room and setting up already brokenin equipment and setting the room to optimize their equipment. And, of course, those who get this benefit may be listening to "special" pieces.
I just notified a manufacturer that I know the very special Urushi caps he and others use, take hundreds of hours to break in and that I would probably need a month and a half's access to his component.
I am also now using exceptional interconnects and speaker wires that may take 1000 hours of use to reach their best and may take two days to recover from being moved from one component to another. How I would love a piece that sounded exactly the same at 15 minutes and two years.
