[QUOTE="jlaubza, post: 1080009, member: 21934"] I think many experienced listeners are likely to disagree with your perception. Reputable dealers seem to run their demo equipment in before demoing to potential buyers. I also have first hand experience of the need to run in (breaking in is the wrong term) equipment such as loudspeakers before the sound output settles to a constant signature. This is done not by listening all the time but by running a constant music source through the speakers, 24/7 and checking from time to time on the sound signature until it has stabilised. This should make intuitive sense as speakers and earphones have physical suspension components that need to be flexed. Amplifiers though in my experience need to warm up more than be run in. I think there is an argument that electrolytic capacitors develop memories, or something like that, but I cant see how a transistor that has been used for 100 hours will have a different sound from one that has been used for one hour.
