Break In Question?

People who think the human brain can't be fooled by outside bias need to do more research. Relying on your ears to give an absolute conclusion, is not proof that changes are real. The human brain is easily fooled.

Dont believe it? Take this simple test.

What's he saying... Ba Ba Ba  then   Fa Fa Fa ?

Break in is a myth for cables and solid state electronics.  Speakers and tubes need break in.  And even in their case it’s 90% there.  The rest is placebo

I've never heard the term "outside bias." Could you please explain it?

I am familiar with "authority bias." Do you have any experience with that?

Of course the brain can be fooled. Doesnt mean that it always is and you must take into account the difference between consequential and inconsequential stimuli. Chosen exposure versus forced. A consistent irritating loud noise is not processed the same as a pleasurable aria.  

Oh and polkalover nobody cares what you think because, well, you love polka. Is your wife too fat or just right? If you are still together you neednt answer.

In psychology, "outside bias" generally refers to outgroup bias (favoring your own group) or the actor-observer bias (blaming outside or situational factors for your own behavior while blaming others' personalities). Tribalism.

When a company or a friend suggest that your stereo will be greatly improved and that the sound difference will be CLEARLY audible. That's your 'belief group mentality' creating a bias in your weak, susceptable human brain.

Hope that helps.
