Are You A Disciplined Audiophile?

I come from a relatively large family. 5 kids, 2 parents, had our grandmother with us a few years, the occasional boarder and lots of pets…

Some of these discussions remind me of The Dinner Table at Home. Lots of Opinions/Experiences.

The diversity of opinion may be difficult to accept but is necessary for a fertile environment and growth. Experiences are different. Change is the One Constant in the Universe….

BTW… I kinda agree with everyone here (at different times and subjects). Depends on the exact circumstances. It’s my stereo, my room, my rules…

Enjoy…

how the heck do i block on this forum?




 

This discussion is in need of serious discipline if you ask me.

That being said, burn-in can be a real thing. I am currently waiting on a new Snake river AES digital cable which they just custom built for me but it will take an extra 9 days before they can ship it because they do an in house burn-in. That says plenty.

@deep_333 I am not arguing at all with the measurements. Most audiophiles when they talk of breaking in what they really mean is "sounds better" The measurements changed so that means the driver now sounds better. If the enclosure was designed around the original TS parameters the driver now functions worse. Subwoofer drivers, if driven correctly, lead a horrific existence. They fail more frequently than any other type of driver. Another problem is "sounds better" is a human interpretation heavily influenced by factors other than reality. IMHO, after burn in, dynamic drivers do nothing but wear out, some more quickly than others. 

Now I have to go get a tree off my driveway:-(

I kind of like having the "crazy" posts around.

As my favorite commercial says, "The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do."

Done with crazy posts. Ignoring crazy from here on out. With me?
