Does a brand new electrical circuit for audio gear benefit from burn in/break in time?


I mean, the consensus seems to be that all other electrical components of audio gear does, right? So seeing as all that brand new Romex is basically another electrical component in the system?

Thanks for relating your experience. Sounds like you had a good test situation. When I recently put in a new direct line, I noticed a substantial increase in sound quality, but not change after that. But I wasn’t paying close attention, but I tend to notice changes in sound quality.

I'll wager not one of the respondents fully disconnected their system and re-connected prior to the miraculous improvements...

my experience too …. A new 20A line over a 15A line ( both dedicated ) provided a higher degree of slam right off the bat  …this was kinda expected somewhat with more amp headroom maybe, I guess ?

but nada further improvement after that .

While I have been the first to use outlets in a room for my hifi (new house), I have never A/B’d before and after. Saying that, I would doubt that whether it was a space heater or an amplifier, anything would change after 100-200 hours of use.
