In Reply to: Q: What exactly is break or burn in time? posted by moveup on March 14, 2007 at 18:39:13:
Think of this phenomena as a conditioning of materials, rather than "break-in". Many people in various industries associate the term break-in to apply to mechanical devices. In audio, for instance, loudspeakers are thought to "break-in", as most speaker drivers have pistonic action and physical movement.I prefer to use the term "conditioning" to describe the process occurring with cables and other passive devices (including caps, resistors, tubes, etc. within amps and preamps), and I think if this term were substituted there would be far less disagreement or controversy.
And yes....thousands upon thousands have experienced this conditioning phenomenon, and report so daily on audio forums. What causes many to scratch their heads is that the phenomenon is occurring on such a micro or even nano level that gross measuring tools cannot ascertain the changes in the materials. That, of course, is a subject for another thread and forum, one that I am definitely NOT encouraging.
