Power Cord Burn-In

Good, maybe we can use your expertise, once you give the idea of 'burning in' a chance.

Gmorris,

I've signed my name that way for years - since the early
advent of Usenet.

As other posters have stated - the "inexact science" of
"human emotion" and the "musical experience" is not germane
to this topic.

It is purely about how electrons transport in cables.

Your remark that we can model electron transport only under
"very restricted conditions" tells me that you have absolutely
no concept of the state of the art in the computational
physics of electron transport. With modern parallel processing
computers - we have greatly expanded the regimes in which
one can accurately model electron transport in cables to
very high order.

Still an approximation even by your own words.

I have a PhD in listening. Earned, empircally, through 35 years of tympanic exposure. I, certainly, cannot explain what exactly is going on in a power cord (scientifically speaking), but (particulary, these last 10 years) the power cords I've listened to, most definately, sounded different after approx. 50 hours of continuous high current pull. Don't need any other degrees to convince my trusted tympanics. Go figure...peace, warren

Gmorris,

EVERY model is an approximation at some level.

The question is to what degree does the approximation hold.

The approximations made in modern calculations of electron
transport are orders of magnitude better than the approximation
of your EARS and "musical memory" that you hold so definitive.
