I am well aware of manufacturer recommended break in. Based on actual system comparisons, it adds nothing to actual system building. In my book I explain that if you follow breaki in guidelines, as it appears ghdprentice does, since he listed manufacturers with their recommended break in times, you will hinder system building. I reviewed dozens of products and the makers told me personally what the break in time was. My perspective changed quickly when I decided to test and see if what I was experiencing, the sound seemingly changing, was actually happening.
mclinnguy, your sarcasm is duly noted. You would benefit from the book, too. Do I care to exchange insults with you. No, I will only encourage you to trust someone who does more than talk about topics but has conducted testing to reach conclusions. If you don’t wish to do that, I have little more to say to you, except be blessed and enjoy your system.
Anyone who is absolutely certain that break in happens, is audible and they know it because they hear it, needs to read the book. I used to hold the same perspective until I decided to test my perception. It is humbling to realize that what you are so sure about, what you think is absolute, is not happening. Then the conclusion is simple; most of the industry and community are using poor methods to advance their systems.
And that’s the tip of the iceberg. :)
