Does EVERY component need break-in?


I just bought a transport new (Theta Carmen). Do transports need break-in as well as cables, speakers, amps, etc.?

I have been wondering the same thing. I definitely have experienced changes in cables and speakers after break-in, but don't know for sure regarding amps. It seems like 200 hours or so changes everything, and I'm not talking about my ears adjusting. Even when I let a product break-in without critically listening for a while, I notice many differences, mostly positive.
