Why no “Break in” period?

This is all coming down to being a great case of helicopter parenting amped up by a surfeit of hubris.

You haven't indicated who you are talking too.
But...

Tell me:  Who in this thread has been admitting "I don't know the asnwer. I haven't decided yet.  I'm still looking at the evidence."

Who has admitted to the "other side":   You could be right in reporting what you hear.

Is this admission of fallibility, tentativeness, and allowing the other person could be correct coming from millercarbon?   Rodman?

I'd hate to go have a meal with some of you as you'd ruin the experience. 😄

Not me.   I'm nuts about food, restaurants, fine dining etc, and I dine out regularly with a large variety of family, friends and acquaintances.  Just this weekend I had a 14 course tasting menu meal with a pal at the best restaurant in the city (not something I can regularly afford) that I'm still dreaming about.  Had tons of fun talking food with the rest of the diners at the table.

Most attempts to psychoanalyze other people on a forum fail because, especially when we find they disagree with our view,  the impulse is to characterize them in a way that makes us feel superior.

Personally, I'm sure millercarbon, rodman, and most others here are terrific people when not engaged in audiophile turf battles, and they are likely plenty smarter than I am overall.

Prof, I wish I was as eloquent as you are and Simonmoon I believe you are absolutely right. 
Everyone is entitled to their own experience. My problem comes when people try to sell stuff to other people that are less knowledgeable and perhaps more gullible. Companies take advantage of this to sell products that are somewhat more than ridiculous. Then one of us thinks it made his system sound better and away you go. I think the Walker turntable is a very interesting design but I would never consider one based on the other crap they sell on their web site.

"therefore my experience has verified the claim and anyone who doesn’t hear what I hear is at fault."???                                          PLEASE, point out any post, in which I’ve ever put forth such a proposition.     I’ve never had an agenda, on these pages, other than to encourage others in listening/experimenting for themselves.

Certainly, you're not saying some are taking liberties with what was said and portraying them as a position that you never ascribed to? That would be unethical. 

At dinner one night, second bottle of wine comes, finish my glass and pour another and.... what the? Sharp, astringent, acidic, had to double-check. Yeah same wine. Wife still had some of hers from the first, try this, sure enough, first ones better. Huh.

Little while later, pour myself some more, now it tastes like the first bottle. Does wine really need to "breathe"? I guess if wine drinkers were like eloquent audiophiles there’d be someone at the table pontificating on how if you say it tastes better fine but don’t go try and tell me it tastes better harumph harumpf.

When in fact after a little more conversation and investigation it turns out the wine does in fact taste better, and I’m not gonna go into the whole story of how we demonstrated this but we did in fact demonstrate this.

Turns out the issue is not after all anything like its being made out to be, however eloquently the illogical dog chasing its own tails narrative is told. What we were able to show is really going on is the difference was there all along. Some just weren’t paying attention.

There’s always gonna be people who aren’t paying attention. Which is fine. Makes the world go round. Only funny thing, pretty much always turns out the more you pay attention the better you do. Which is why I’m always recommending people go and listen. To DYODD. To listen and audition and buy what you like and not what some random interwebber recommends. Over and over again.

To disregard the vast number of times I’ve said this, well that is beyond not paying attention. We’re talking downright willful ignorance here. And for what? To make a cheap audio turf war point?

Nah. Couldn’t be. That would never happen. Would it?
