@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.
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?

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.) |
I own Harley's book and think it is an excellent primer. He avoids most controversial topics and concentrates on some basic facts. This is the way to write an audio book. If I decided to write a book that would sell, if selling copies were the main goal, I would find some almost universally accepted audio beliefs and attack them. Even better if I can convince my readers that some sort of industry conspiracy is involved.

@ozzy I wish I remember where my I bought my usb cable. It was only $40 and had a very noticeable 18-24 hrs bright phase. |
