I can't prove shit. All I'm saying is that for an explanation to be accepted as valid, it must be coherent and consistent. If we have a hypothesis that a so-called burn-in phenomenon can be explained away by the mere fact that it is subject's ears that are adjusting, accommodating and acclimatizing to the new component, I would be prepared to buy that, providing that it is consistent across the board. However, in my case, it is not, as the addition of some components does not provoke my ears to go through the adjustment period, while the addition of some other components does exactly that. -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86359 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
