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?

Thank you invalid. This is the last blow from me to this dead horse. There are clear guidelines prohibiting "self promotion" in the rules regarding forum behavior. In fact google this and it is one of the first things to come up. 

If he wants to promote his book, pay for the privilege like the rest of us.

 

 

Didnt see this before so I must comment. Doug, the people that judge issues of vindication and appropriateness of responses are really the members of this forum with Audiogon coming in a distance second. Nobody cares what you think as you dont have the right nor have you earned the right to make such judgements. I would call out the "first string" reviewers on this but they arent stupid enough to do what you attempted. Now Audiogon please be aware that I didnt call Doug stupid I called what he has done stupid. So dont ban for making disparaging remarks about another member when you, evidently, allow blatant self promotion. 

"Now, perhaps we can return to the discussion that I intended to hold..."

 

And that would be what, mentioning your book a hundred more times?

 

 

 

@thecarpathian - and not answering my question about having headphones playing on a chair for 100+ hours before listening to them again and them sounding perfectly fine instead of 'I'm returning this'; nothing 'getting used to' about it' for a hundred more times.

You're mistaken.Yes, AI agrees with your claim, but you'll not find any such prohibition in Audiogon's Terms Of Use or forum guidelines. (So much for the reliability of AI.) Perhaps there should be such a rule, perhaps you should lobby for such a rule, perhaps the rule would be "common sense." But you're trying to invoke a rule that simply doesn't exist.

If you think I'm mistaken, please provide a link to Audiogon's actual rule. (Google and AI don't count. It's Audiogon's rule, not Google's.)
