In Reply to: Is burn-in on electronics real? posted by mdl on March 12, 2005 at 07:19:32:
You can hear it for most any component.Look, colors fade on cars over the years.
Opening and closing a door makes it easier to do over the years.
Everything breaks in with use.
For speakers, like doors I guess, constant motion ought to just mellow out the material.
I know fostex drivers take maybe 100 hours. Before that you have to be careful what amp you use with them. After break in, what amp you use seems to matter less.
I don't really know electron theory, but having electrons pass through and through something is likely to have some type of effect.
For amps, you can hear the electronics mellow out. In audio, it seems that the more it is used the more it mellows, like the paint on a car.
And if you go to a place like Jamaica, where they may play their stereos from dawn to dusk every day for years, you really hear a big difference there in the actual sound of the equipment.

- A better example would be 0-60 time. It's often shorter after the engine breaks in. [nt] - David Spear 23:01:56 03/13/05 (1)
