I would say that burn in is real more or less for the component (being speakers, cables, amps) at question but definitely there is a listening "burn in" for your ears as you get acustomed to the new equipment. How you assign the "improvements" (on burn in or listening experience) after some time is really quite subjective, as most things in high-end audio. Most of the time it is both unless you get a chance to try both burned in and not equipment.
Burn in time...Reality or something else???
Hello,
It occurs to that whenever you get a new piece of electronics, speakers, cables or whatever they always seem to sound better after a short "burn-in" time?
Your eyes adapt to low light if you start working at night,
Your body gets used to hot temperatures,
Your sense of smell gets used to the smell of $h!t if you work with horses,
Why not our EARS???
Are they just adapting the new environment?
