Yes, capacitor break in means.... "more juice"
Actually, a capacitor consists of two or more conductive plates which are not connected or touching each other, they electrically separated either by air or by some form of a good insulating material such as waxed paper, mica, ceramic, plastic or some form of a liquid gel as used in electrolytic capacitors. This insulating layer between a capacitors plates is known as the Dielectric.
The dielectric material can interact with current flow. As the cap is used and voltage is passed, the plates can heat up, which very much affects how the skin affect of different dielectrics and resistance (Z) ESR/ESL of the cap. The signal, like water, will take the path of least resistance. It can even create a temporary magnetic field. Different Dielectrics do react with a hysteresis effect differently to all of this in caps. That why an electrolytic, mylar, polyprop, polycarb, teflon, paper in oil etc, all have a unique sound signature. As all of this stabilizes, the caps do settle in and YES, you hear them settle down as they break in. Another common word for this is the caps are FORMING.
