Re: My real question re. ' Break In' of components..

I completely agree with the warm up thing (I have tubed pre, amp, and DAC) and I always play music for 1/2 hr before sitting down to listen.

I'm really just trying to validate the concept that 'break in' does occur. The main reason I posed the q's is that from my experience my whole system seems to go 'dead' when I don't use regularly (which sadly happens esp. in non-winter months) - and from my own observations it can take several days of continuous play for things to really come back to life after said non-use. So I wonder..Is it really improving during those days or am I maybe just re-acquianting myself with sound and expectations? Maybe a combination of both? My 2nd question re. comparing cables was really prompted by some tube rolling :')
