Why no “Break in” period?

Why doesn’t anything sound worse when it breaks in?Probably the reason may be similar to why most equipment will sound "better" fully warmed up although that doesn’t really have to be the case. I intentionally used the word "most" since if I say "all", somebody will come in and say "... but, but, but I know something sound worse ... so on". If everything I say has no exception then I am "God". On the other hand, I am pretty sure (and you cannot argue with me on this) I am much better not "warmed up" at all. And even much better with sip of wine. |
None of us are saying that you should not evaluate equipment through as many measures as you can reasonably apply. The problem for back seat audiophiles like geoffkait is that there are mountains of absurd junk and snake oil out there that they want to believe will make a miraculous improvement in the sound quality of their systems. More so than buying the newest Boulder amplifier which they can't possibly afford. Neither can I for than matter. Prof, atdavid and I are just not delusional enough. I do keep my ARC phono amp on all the time because I do think it sounds better warmed up and I can afford the tubes. In reality I just hate waiting for it to warm up:) Oh and geoffkait, I would look for another profession. You might try being a psychologist. They are excellent at being wrong. |
