Yes, well that's the perpetual debate, or at least one of them

I have no doubt that my Simaudio Moon CD5.3 sounded better with time, because I had also home auditioned a demo version less than a week before I bought the new one, with CDs I am very familiar with.

And to me, carts and speakers are obvious, and even turntables themselves seem to settle in after spinning for awhile.

And I had a pair of MIT cables that I am convinced sounded better after burn in because I left the system playing while at work, and because a good friend of mine heard them one weekend and then the next and commented on the difference without any prompting by me. Of course I cannot prove it because I didn't do any kind of double blind test or the like, so who knows for sure?

But I have never noticed any particularly noticeable effect on amps. Whether a Rotel, Krell, NAD or a Conrad Johnson, they sounded pretty much the same over time to me.

It'll never be settled, but I think it's fun to share observations, and certainly one gets used to how something sounds, whether or not its also subtly changing over time.
