Re: Is burning-in real?

128.196.42.70

I have had items that sounded great but once "burned in" lost the magic and no longer sounded the same. Did the electrical device change or did my perception of what I was hearing? My SO who could give a hoot about my system, has noticed when the sound became better after a period of time had elapsed in which a component had "burned in". (she had not listened to the system and gotten use to the sound). I have a very sensitive amp and if anything is wrong the bass goes to s..t. I can rewire something within the amp and it takes a couple of days for the wire to "burn in" before the bass gets tight again. This is very noticeable and believe me, I am not just getting use to bad bass because I cannot stand boomy bass.

I do not know exactly what is going on but I have heard it enough to appreciate that there is something dealing with electrons and dielectrics (forming) that influences the sound that changes with time.
