Re: Is burning-in real?

Having owned Proacs and now 'speakers that use Eton drivers I can tell you that loudspeakers definately need break in, sometimes in the hundreds of hours.

Have a listen to a brand new set of Proacs or nOrh's and then listen to a pair of either 'speaker with a couple of hundred hours on them and tell me that there is no such thing as break in.

Pre-amps, power-amps, CD players also need burn in and capacitor forming with a Variac is a plus with power-amps.

I have also used a Variac to re-form the capacitors in a pre-amp with great improvement in smoothness and general musicality.

Speaker and interconnect cables, I think so.
