[QUOTE="capetownwatches, post: 896772, member: 19576"] IMHO the only burn in that takes place is between the listener's ears, as one becomes familiar with the precise sound of the new component and how this affects the system overall. This applies to solid state equipment absolutely although the jury is out on valve gear. Our brains control everything - I have listened to the same system at night and then the following morning and it sounded quite different. And it continues to sound slightly different all the time, depending on who knows what...time of the month, lunar cycle, whether I had a good day or not.. Bottom line is we can't measure burn in even though many of us subscribe to the theory, and have heard differences. Thing is, those differences probably ('cos it hasn't been proven otherwise) don't occur as a result of usage. [/QUOTE]
