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 come from a relatively large family. 5 kids, 2 parents, had our grandmother with us a few years, the occasional boarder and lots of pets…

Some of these discussions remind me of The Dinner Table at Home. Lots of Opinions/Experiences.

The diversity of opinion may be difficult to accept but is necessary for a fertile environment and growth. Experiences are different. Change is the One Constant in the Universe….

BTW… I kinda agree with everyone here (at different times and subjects). Depends on the exact circumstances. It’s my stereo, my room, my rules…

Enjoy…
