In Reply to: RE: Cap break-in question. posted by driver8 on April 01, 2014 at 11:33:46
My NEW panels….Magnepan….sounded really different while the caps formed. Image shifts. 'Cutout' of sound. Frequency response anomalies.
The worst was over in just a few hours.

How can you be so sure that these problems you experienced were due to "cap break-in"?I'm not trying to cast doubt on your claim that you heard *something* going on. It's just that there are other components that might have created the sonic changes you heard - including moving parts (panel drivers) that might conceivably stretch out and/or settle in during the first few hours of the "break-in" period.
Admittedly, it might also be possible that our brains go through some sort of "break-in" process whenever we are confronted with sounds that are new or different.
Are we absolutely sure that capacitors are the culprits?

Yes, I'm absolutely sure.
Cap 'formation' is a known phenom which accounts for all I heard.
Do NOT mistake what I heard for a 'long term' break-in situation, however. The sound of my panels has been stable since just a few hours after initial turn-on.
Physical properties of mylar, for example, do not allow for much stretch, which after initial tensioning of the panel, would ruin it were it to occur.

Thank you for your testimony, inmate # 1970034762. You may now step down and away the bench...

Just reporting actual observation.
I had never noticed such behavior before….or since…..
