Break In Question?

@ghdprentice 

nothing in your post convinces me.  It isn’t relevant how many pieces you’ve’broken in’ or how much you have spent on audio over the years.  I still contend that it’s your brain adjusting to slight differences in sonic signatures amongst components   Developments in Neurobiology over the past few decades show differences in brain stimulation when being repetitively stimulated over time by the same impulse .

  It’s just energy being given off as electrons traverse a magnetic field.  I don’t see how it matters if it’s the first time the electrons have made the journey or the 100th time.

  However since there really is no way to objectively prove it one way or another being dogmatic on either side of question isn’t very productive

You are like me: There is nothing anybody can write or say that will convince you, you have to experiment and hear the difference yourself. This is an admirable attribute. 

If you want to discover this effect for yourself, install a new Furutech GTX-D NCF(R) rhodium outlet for your equipment, and observe the changes in sound over the next 200+ hours. I expect the difference to be so obvious that even a system with basic cables and cheap speaker wire will prove the point beyond debate.

I will explain how this works just as soon as I figure out how mass governs gravity. Give me a few weeks. 

@mahler123 - Then please explain to me how I can get a pair of headphones, take them out of the box and they sound terrible and I'm ready to send them back, then I put them on a stand and play music through them without putting them on for 150 hours or so, then put them back on and they sound completely different and I keep them. Nobody is 'getting used to' anything in this situation.

The book costs $30 for the paperback version. If you spend the money, you likely will reap rewards many times the cost from learning how to avoid ineffective methods in system building. 

Wow, temping solicitation. I see you have wrote the same in a few other threads. How charitable of you. Unfortunately, I only buy broken-in books, so I expect I will never come across this glorious opportunity. 

Here is the chapter in my book entitled: 

Chapter Three — Why Reason Rarely Changes Minds

Why Reason Rarely Changes Minds Beliefs signal belonging before they signal accuracy. Reason often acts as a lawyer rather than a judge.

Although best to start at the beginning.
