Hi, Jerry. The fact that we both believe in burn-in probably makes us almost like blood brothers in some circles.

But you're attributing voltage to burn-in times and the point of my post is that in my limited experience between 2V and 120v, I've not noticed how voltage makes any difference whatsoever. It could, but I'm just saying in my limited experience, I've yet to notice voltage having that impact.

In fact, I speculate that the difference in burn-in times is almost solely related to the object's level of complexity. Moreover, since my primary focus is on resonant energy transfer and the required settling in time there, I can produce a list similar to the one above from a mechanical settling in perspective where the most basic parts take (you won't believe this) roughly 53 hours +- 1 hour to fully settle in.

The biggest and more complex take roughly 150 - 250 hours to settle in. But when I take things to the utmost extreme, it can take months and even years. I've observed both. Talk about watching paint dry?

Nevertheless, it's exciting to see somebody like you take a keen interest in this stuff. I assure you, your time is not wasted by any means.
