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?

People are just getting too warmed up with this discussion. Stop punishing yourselves any further. Let it all go….. Switch off….

Nobody wins this one.

At least it seems ozzy got the answer he was asking for, from fellow believers, before this went off the rails...

Yes, I did get my answer, Thanks!

I guess we believe in what we believe, there seems to be little compromise. I am a little surprised with Douglas though, he actually reviewed my speakers way back when, and at that review he seemed to be more open minded.

@mylogic Let it all go? When I have very fundamental questions that can put the entire thing to rest?

@samureyex ”….put(ing) the entire thing to rest”

My view was formed by the way this debate has become more personalised. Two conflicting views that will never reach a common ground. Can never be a negotiated settlement or winner.
 

Postings about polarised view points can often degenerate into open trench warfare where nobody wins, or as with this discussion, a protracted standoff. 
 

To a neutral reader there comes a point when interest falls away, leaving opposing forces battling it out amongst themselves…. 

 

Or until this subject gets regurgitated with a brand new discussion starting it all over again.
