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?

Funny about the nicotine as I went to dental school in Richmond Virginia rjr tobacco was there did studies on the patch. Science can have a bias as pharmaceutical companies hire scientists to produce bias research to get the outcome they want. I have studied immunology for decades.when a person is exposed to a disease they developed an immune response to that disease. Scientific literature  was suppressed and manipulated for certain results by people who said they were science .  Follow the money. As a surgeon the is the art and science of medicine. In audio the art is listening and each brain processes differently in each body as with art some like one pic and others don't. Then there is the science of music. Try you own experiences for yourself it's half the fun. Enjoy life stay healthy  and most of all enjoy the music..

Doug,

Your motivations mean nothing, your reasons for penning the book mean nothing, nothing matters but your shameless violation of forum rules and your inability to apologize. And most of the other members arent calling you out and Audiogon is not shutting you down. I am sure I am overreacting but geez somebody has to say something. 

Good morning, sorry, I don't know if this book thing was directed towards me after I posted, but I don't know anything about a book and was not challenging anything in a book.  I was just sharing my opinion based on my experience.  Happy Memorial Day!

speelerr, no, not at all!  audition_audio and I disagree. I have taken steps to contact Audiogon to find out whether talking about my book is permitted or not. 

You have been a courteous participant and no one is angry at you. :)

My comments are directed only at Doug. You should go by your experience and your experience only. It is good to have you on the forums and while I dont agree with you on break-in, my problems were never with the other members opinions on any issue. Notice he is now contacting Agon because he is now, possibly, beginning to see some blow back. He knows he was in violation and is checking after the fact so he can say he did. Too little too late I think at least for me.
