I must admit that I personally in my limited experience of owning new HiFi components I never experienced this marked change of sound during 'burn in process'. When you confirm that in regard solid state amplifiers it is the listener who is becoming accustomed to the change thats quite an assertion when you consider the host of people (professional and non professional) who claim to have actually heard and experienced the change of sound during the claimed burn in process. Its fascinating that such a divide exists among normal music lovers.
It is quite an assertion that I made. We know not what they heard, we know not what posessed them to make such claims. I assert that the change is so subtle as to be entirely imaginary. I have said to many who report such " Wow you have a really good imagination"
Look at it this way. There are professionals and non professionals who assert they have golden ears and they must say these things to support their ears. We dont know what someone is hearing.
As I have posted previously ive been in a room with some golden ears where the system was "broken" and they didnt hear it. Given that who is really hearing what?
