Break In Question?


I have been under the assumption that in order for a component to break in there must be a signal pass through from one piece of equipment to another. That is, running a Dac/Preamp into an amp, the amp must be turned on for the Dac/Preamp to break in.

But is this really true? Does the amp really need to be turned on?

"It seems many audiophiles would benefit greatly from my book". No one will benefit as greatly as Doug however. This should not be allowed by Audiogon and you should know better. Is it financial desperation or hubris which would make you think this was a good idea? Really Doug I am not so sure anybody really cares what you think. Oh yeah I forgot you have done research.

 

@ghdprentice  Interesting substack. Nicely written articles. Where do you get the graphics from?

Doug, 

My impression is similar. It is as if you are hiding a seed of conspiracy theory and attempting to lure people to buy your book it to find out what it is. It is not alluring at all.

@douglas_schroeder - No, I don't need to read the book you are hawking (they're allowing free ads on Agon these days via this back-door route?). Nothing you have to say will explain to me about the headphones on the chair, either. 

@ghdprentice + 1 - I guess those people who deny the fact of break-in think that all those manufacturers' figures are nothing but lies and only the gullible would believe them.
