Amplifier Break-in - It's Real
douglas_schroeder"You, and everyone who thinks they hear equipment breaking in, need to read my articles about this topic at Dagogo.com;Audiophile Law: Thou Shalt Not Overemphasize Burn In and Audiophile Law: Burn In Text Redux " It is strange, odd, and unusual that you claim to be an independent, unaligned, objective journalist on matters pertaining to Music Reproduction Systems and yet you promote and advertise you’re columns, opinions, and thoughts here is it that no one read’s your blogs? |
clearthink, to clarify for you, I do not believe you would be able to provide any evidence wherein I claim to be "independent, unaligned" as if unassociated with any magazine. I have disclosed consistently that I write for Dagogo.com. Objective - I believe the community would see that to be the case, given the impossibility of any of us to rid ourselves of personal biases and preferences. "promote and advertise" - Promote, certainly. Advertise. No, sir, absolutely wrong. I have no involvement whatsoever with anything associated with advertising, either with Dagogo.com, or any entity in the industry. If you have the perception that I have any involvement in advertising, or have conducted any activity remotely associated with advertising, then please correct that misperception. I do not have an audio blog, so you are correct, no one reads a blog that does not exist. I have no clue whether Doug Schneider (note the spelling difference) is as you claim, and this is yet another case of mistaken identification. Perhaps that is why this all strikes you as strange, odd, and unusual. If that has been the case, then perhaps it will all be resolved now. What I find strange, odd, etc. is that for all these years in the industry, I have never met Doug Schneider. Finally, it is ironic to me that articles that I was not commissioned to write, nor were solicited, but were written simply as informative guides based on work done for my own benefit, experience, are questioned in regard to my motives and association as a reviewer. :( |
Just to wrap this one up, after a month or so of continuous play I have to say the Coda 8 is a spectacular amp. I still feel strongly that there was a break-in period, not just a case of warming it up for few days. I can now shut off my equipment for a couple days, turn it on and get good sound immediately and great sound within the hour. Not something I could do when it was fresh out of the box. No doubt it improves if left on for longer. Thanks for your comments! |
