Why no “Break in” period?


If people say there’s a break in period for everything from Amps to cartridges to cables to basically everything... why is it with new power conditioners that people say they immediately notice “the floor drop away” etc.  Why no break in on that?

I’m not trying to be snarky - I’m genuinely asking.

Because a lot of stuff really does sound so good you notice immediately and right out of the box. Doesn't mean it doesn't continue to improve as it burns in.

That's called "expectation bias", and it's a beaut smoke screen, even for something you won't like in a day or so.

If someone does have noisy power putting in the conditioner will have an immediate impact.The noise floor will drop but doesn't mean that their won't be some other changes in sound as the unit breaks in.

As for expectation bias I suppose we all have it,but what do you call it when you get a new 'thing' and it's disappointing and doesn't meet expectations?I'm not able to deny to myself that the 'thing' I was so excited about acquiring sounds like shite.
