Have had the Ayre disc for many years and it is now ripped to my server. Track 7, Full Glide Tone, on repeat at very low volume works well for burning in new components. It is sort of the equivalent of warming up your car, many do it even though some say it shouldn’t make a difference. I don’t care what “many do” or what “some say” - I have it and use it, but one is enough and I certainly wouldn’t consider it an “Indispensable Tweak”.

Hi guys, I read all the discussion... These are my empirical impressions that apply to my system; over the years, I've tried almost all the break-in discs (XLO, Purist Audio, Densen Demagic, Isotek, Cardas, Tellurium-Q, as well as the classic Pink and White Noise). Some have tracks that the authors claim 'demagnetize' the system, other tracks are for breaking in, others for a quick warm-up. Are they useful? Yes, especially on new equipment, speakers in particular. More than music? In my opinion, they speed up the break-in process. Obviously, I don't listen to the system while I'm playing these discs on repeat; I do that when I leave the house. Don't ask me if I know the isomorphic properties that connect what I hear to what the CD authors say, because I don't. I only have listening impressions. |
Question? If Breaking In a Audio Device, it is expected that at some point the device is going to settle, maybe become coherent in the way it manages frequency. Settlement and coherence are typically seen as a positive and attractive to have available. Does not just using the Audio Device create this without the use of a particular source material. Claims a breaking in device was a better outcome than usual music used is a biggy to take on board. Now a long term in use device that is optimised in its function. If that was claimed to find a little extra resulting from a source material in use, that might be more alluring.

I think these clowns, the likes of @roadcykler , just read the forums and post the same nonsense. They probably own some low end walmart type system and are outraged by everything that’s going on here. |
