New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

I'd take that bet

I'll bet if you calibrate a TV new right out of the box so that it's "perfect" and come back after letting it "burn in" for 300 hours, that particular calibration will look worse, not better. And after calibrating again, the performance will be the same or worse than the first calibration - not better.

All would agree to the first sentence. But the second sentence simply flies in the face of experience. Recalibration will produce a picture that is the same or better, and the resulting drift will be much, much less than in the first few hundred hours.

The fact that the calibrations will remain at the new settings for much longer than fresh out of the box gives us evidence that the balance within the circuitry has changed in some subtle ways.

Geoff
