First, Thank you to Theo and all others who have helped
shed some light on this topic.
Still though, I'm having a hard time digesting parts
of this.
I hope not to come across as arguementative or confrontational, but I have more questions. I must know !
The diamond stylus, I have been told, does not appreciably
wear.
"...moving parts developing a working motion together..."
I can only understand moving parts "breaking in" that
either contact each other, or deform (plasticly).
This would leave out all the coils, magnets, and wires.
The rubber cantilever suspension, OK, I can see that possibly.
I did not know the coils/magnets were mounted on rubber
(that doesn't seem like a good idea, but I don't know).
But I haven't heard of rubber/plastic parts in other applications needing a compliance settling-in period.
In general, rubber only hardens. But, I could well be
ignorant here.
Metallic coil springs, for example, start out with 100%
of their spring constant and it's only downhill from there
with use.
"...plus your ears and brain."
Hmm. Is this like becoming re-acclimated to a periodic
activity, or sliding into a mood, or...? Interesting.
Sounds more like "warm-up". No questions from me here.
If "...break-in is ongoing..."
If break-in is ongoing, is this not simply "wear" ?
Anyway, thanks again gents.
