Are You A Disciplined Audiophile?


The issue of whether break-in is real aside for now, when you make a change in your system, such as a new component or cable, do you have the discipline to wait before making any other changes?  I usually mark my calendar for a month and perhaps 2 months and try to change nothing else for that period of time so I can better assess exactly what the new thing is doing. But sometimes it’s difficult to wait. IMO, break in is a real thing, both in the component and the listener, but even if you don’t believe components and cables change after a few days, can you wait at least a month to listen to enough music to adjust your ears to what the new thing brings to the system on its own?

I'm glad that NOT everyone here "Disciplined Audiophile". It makes me think that it's not the end of this world yet.

Also, if something sounds un-musical or in some way not right, I'm not about to waste much time on break-in...it's gonna be gone.

That IS indeed the best tweak!
