Doug you just made things worse. What you do is acknowledge that what you attempted to do was wrong and apologize. Nothing else is of consequence.
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?

@larsman +1 ... I had an identical experience with the Vandersteen 3 about 20+ years ago...breaking in my current new DAC I barely listened for 5 days, only did brief check ins, more to make sure everything was working properly...but at about the 75 hour mark I heard a significant difference (had been told break-in was about 100 hours)...I always barely listen during break-in... |
Honestly, While I don't agree with his hypothesis on break-in, I don't have an issue with @douglas_schroeder pushing his book as it is on topic and he's been on the 'Gon for decades. Let's face it, there are only a few of us, and commitment should be cherished not cast away. |
I have another thread going on about the Lumin X2 in the Digital Forum. In that thread I just mentioned how the X2 unit is breaking in. This should open the eyes/ears on the question of Break In. ozzy "One thing I did notice right off was that the bass was weak, almost missing. I have 4 subs in my room and I actually went over to the rear ones to feel the cone to see if they were on, and there was little that I could feel. Hmmn." "So, today, after about 100 hours of the X2 activity, I can again hear and feel the bass that was missing. I can feel the bass in the cone! So much for the Break- In, “is imagined theories”. Clearly, purely a sonic change has occurred."
