Hearing, break-in etc.

204.15.222.146

Been involved in hifi for quite a while. Have a theory that a lot of the break-in period for some equipment and components is us adjusting, tuning in to what we like and don't like. There is also a corollary with Dr. Tomatis work, for example, his book, The Conscious Ear.

Wonder if anyone else has had this experience.

Screwed up, first posted this in preamps, amps, better here.

It depends on how much a component's sound really does change during break-in. - Paul_A 08:05:09 11/07/09 (3)
