Break In Question?

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

Ah, yes. The consistent false belief of seeing crunchy pickles everywhere...

@douglas_schroeder after reading this thread I purchased the Kindle edition of your book, and read the first 1/4 of it with great interest. I am only a few years into the serious audiophile experience, and find your so-called laws to be very helpful perspectives despite what I imagine some will find a too-absolutistis tenor. You appreciate that risk, shown by the graphic you used of Moses with his tablets. Regardless, your book has nuance, and the "laws" serve well as guideposts or cautionary tales for decision-making. I look forward to finishing your book.

Ok, enough time spent on this. IMO, there has not been a single on topic direct response to my claims, which have been reinforced with testing and examples of new drivers in speakers. An objection stating, "I heard this over x period of time," is not a serious challenge to my practically instant comparisons. Nor are they a serious challenge to my examples of switching out old drivers for new in speakers. 

BTW, i have never paid any attention to Audio Science Review. I believe over the past years I saw two titles of videos that I thought might be interesting, but neither one was relevant to real world system building. I concluded I can safely ignore that source.Objectivists can make as many mistakes in system building as subjectivists who claim break in is real, i.e., that the equipment audibly changes its performance over initial use, 

There, that will win me a lot more friends! In the book I also discuss the pitfalls of objectivist audio and how it hampers system building. 

jrdavisphd, I was just about to walk away from the thread for an indefinite time period - some may have cheered! - when I saw your post. 

Thank you, sir! I hope that the work is a boon to your involvement in our hobby! 

@douglas_schroeder What exactly is your position in terms of publishing your book? Someone as a scientist or someone with an opinion? How long have you been in this hobby?

There are many great speaker manufacturers that recommend burn-in on their speakers. Arendal for one used to recommend 60hrs or something. What exactly do you have to offer over an established company with a ton of experience and R&D?
