Does a new cd transport require break-in time?

What you gentlemen do not seem to understand is that all material systems ARE mechanical. When it comes to Electronics, this means that all components do indeed respond to regular electron flow .. dielectrics take time to fully “seat” ... even wire shows change under extended load conditions as confirmed by electron microscope .  For proof simply search for white papers readily available on the web from respected universities .  

In my long experience.... given world class components.... it is certainly audible 😮
