[QUOTE="Air, post: 896707, member: 15182"] As much as I think "burn in" is a reality and as Ingvar and Hi-Phibian mentioned more so in certain types of components than others, not a single component I opened and installed in my own or a customer's system have changed so dramatically in SQ that I would say it warrants to audition only burned in components before a purchasing decision is made. Changes have been very subtle. My take is that we bullshit ourselves most of the time and it is more an internal process to justify our purchase or we acclimatise with the change in the system subjectively. If installing a new(out of the box) component and there is no discernable difference right away, no burn in would change the situation. Such an upgrade is just scratching an itch rather an significant improvement. This is to my view different to letting an electronic component warm up to reach optimum working temperatures. [/QUOTE]
