@mahler123 There are quite a few components that my brain never adjusted to after break-in. I got rid of them.
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?

@dacpin , I'm sure gonna be glad when you get your old username back. Every time I see this one, I think I'm becoming dyslexic. |
Wow, our break in enthusiasts need to be cautious, as it seems the evidence is mounting that their equipment is not performing consistently! Ever had one of those days when things didn't sound right, good? Well, according your own belief that your ears are more stable, consistent than electronics, it means that on that day or week, the equipment is regressive, literally sounding worse, in performance decline. What that means, according to your break in worldview, is that your gear has no consistent performance. It fluctuates, sometimes becoming better, but sometimes becoming worse sounding. It could not be that your perception is fluid. No, as with break in where you are absolutely sure that the equipment is changing its sound, so with bad listening sessions. It's not your ears! You are exonerated! It's your system, it's going retrograde! It's really a shame that some of us have to suffer inconsistent performance from equipment. Logically, it has to be your equipment varying in performance, because you proved to yourself that your ears are more consistent than electronics. Wow, that's too bad. I wouldn't want to be in that situation!
