Burn-in CD


Would the Purist Audio burn-in CD have an effect on burning-in new speakers ( Von Schweikert VR-4 JR in my case).,that will be different from simply playing music. Manual recommends playing LOUD rock music for 250-300 hrs., and reducing this time to 6 hours certainly sounds tempting. So I'm wondering if the burn-in CD can deliver on it's promise to achieve the same (supposedly) effect in just 6 hours. I could possibly understand it's effect on the other system components, but for the speakers? Please share your thoughts and experiences. Regards.

Although I had already used multiple plays of the 74 minute PAD CD-R for burn-in, there was a rather dramatic further improvement with the dedicated machine burn-in from George Saubon of cableburner.com for two sets of Marigo analog interconnects.
My interconnects had been stored away for six months, and I cannot tell whether any previous factory, or PAD burn-in may have evaporated by the time I sent off to George for further professional burn-in.
I found the PAD CD-R seemed more effective than my Densen 3 minute break-in CD, even when playing the Densen over, and over, to accumulate same total burn-in time. However, it is hard to compare break-in products, unless a successor burn-in procedure seems to create a further improvement.
I am in the camp that believes simply playing components may never break them in fully, as buying used equipment on Audiogon never prevented attaining further audible improved performance with any of the dedicated break-in ideas mentioned above.
Most recently, I have become a fan of Lloyd Walker's SST contact enhancer, which upgrades the listening experience still further, within seconds of being applied to any metal signal, or power, contact points in my systems.
It is fascinating to hear upgraded sound just by optimizing components, and wiring, rather than having to replace.
Interested to hear what others say about thier impressions of the PAD, but as far as music goes , techno , for break in purposes, is tough to beat. Stomping bass. Computer generated sounds coming at all frequencies. Im not necessarily a fan of this type of music , but I pick it up off my digital cable box, turn it up, go out to dinner and work out my speakers while Im away. I live in a detached house so it does not bother anyone.
