Does a brand new electrical circuit for audio gear benefit from burn in/break in time?


I mean, the consensus seems to be that all other electrical components of audio gear does, right? So seeing as all that brand new Romex is basically another electrical component in the system?

There's no such thing as a burn in time, in the sense that an electronic circuit behaves differently after say 100 hours of use.

There can be a temperature effect though. An amplifier (and also other equipment) warms up when switched on. All components slowly reach their stable temperature and the electronic operating point that belongs to that temperature. Depending on the circuit there may or may not be subtle audible differences between cold and warm operating state. Some prefer to keep their gear switched on 24/7.
