In Reply to: Is burning-in real? posted by Scott Thomson on January 23, 2001 at 18:54:51:
Yes, I agree with you that this burn in thing is a little crazy. Speakers - sure, maybe a few hours or a day or two. Cartridges, about the same. Maybe even electronics need a bit of burn in. But hundreds of hours to "burn in" a cable, as some manufacturers claim, or a new CD player? Give me a break.I recently had an opportunity to compare a highly regarded set of speakers cables to my trusty old Tara labs. Both my son, who has good ears but is definitely not an audiophile, preferred the Tara. The owner of the other cable pointed out that it was quite new and that, with only about 50 hours of burn in, it was clearly not a fair test. So we agreed to run this comparison again in a few months time to see how things have changed, if indeed they have. This is hardly a scientific comparison but it will be interesting to see if the newer cable has changed enough to overtake the Tara or if, as I suspect, it will have changed at all relative to the Tara.
