In Reply to: My real question re. ' Break In' of components.. posted by AJ F on March 3, 2006 at 09:42:24:
I had made a set of DIY cat5 cables that when 1st listened to, were initially harsh. Over many hours times weeks, the harsh sound was absent replaced with a liquid smoothness. I doubt that this can be imagined, because the reason I had initially entered the world of HiFi is due to my left ear's sensitivity. This sensitivity is actually quite annoying and leaves my left ear bothering me for many hours, which happened when the cables were new, but do not have this effect on my ear now. Using these cables with vinyl records, I can listen all day without left ear fatigue, but switch to CD and fatigue takes place after approx 4 or 5 CDs. When I used hi-mid equipment such as Denon or Yamaha and a CD player, fatigue took place on the 1st CD, but not related to burn-in because the systems caused fatigue until the day I sold them from the day I bought them.As well a friend listen to my current system when the DIY cables were new, and without me giving him any personal impression, he said they were grainy and sounded bright. About 4 months later he came by and remarked how smooth the system sounded. Would he not have remarked they were still bright if they had not changed?
