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?

Ahhh yes, the classic ad hominem argument, the laziest of all logical fallacies. Have a nice day!

Every belief is shaped by our personal perspective, but not every belief is equally biased by it.

So sayeth my mind bogglingly stupendous intellect!

I love the way scientists and engineers think their profession adds any credibility. It hobbles you and you become a victim of your education as well as the way you choose to view the world. 

@audition__audio You hit a critical point. Any good scientists would already know knowledge in science changes constantly and changes a lot. There is hardly anything that can be labeled as "absolute" So when people throw down their scientific degrees, and saying they trust the "Science" what exactly are they saying?

Like all the scientists in the 60s saying Nicotine was not addicting. People certainly trusted the science. 

Or when Scientists concluded the Auroras absolutely didn’t make any sound and that the people who say the Auroras did were dillusional.

Or  "trust the Science" in 2021 LOL. Oh that’s a big one. You will see. 

"Trust the Science" has literally become a meme and a cult. 

I have the Martin Logan Summit X. These speakers each have 2 knobs on the back allowing me to adjust the bass quantity of 25hz and 50 hz. These speakers have dual 10-inch woofer, 1 pair have 4. They produce a lot of quality bass.

I’ve had brand new cables in my system where it virtually have no bass, turning up these knobs did little to increase the bass. Don’t tell me my mind was playing tricks. I know when my bass is off, let alone at this magnitude. 

Of course, after some break-in, the bass slowly comes to life.
