How much does volume matter when breaking in amps and cables?


I'm not here to debate break-in. I generally leave new amps, components, and new cables playing low volume for a for long periods to start the break in process. Just curious how much does volume play a role in breaking in such. I get that speakers probably need pretty good amounts to push drivers, but what about other components?

In are head" any decent set of ears! listening to a resolving system can hear new cables, resistors, circuit boards, transistors, breaking in'.

Some of the best designers have acknowledged the " breaking in process" and if you think its in our head you need to change hobbies cause your clearly wasting time and funds on this hobby.

You seem to keep up with many of these post here on Audiogon and other sites and your telling me you have not read John Curl, Ralph Karsten ,Neilson Pass, Caelin Gabriel to name just a few top designers talk about break in. You seem to have selective reading so Im calling BS and yes they have test gear but they also know that doesn't tell them how it will sound. You also like arguing with other members who hear differences.

Just because it cant be quantified doesn't mean you cant here a difference.

Kosst you need to list your system so we know why you cant hear a DIFFERENCE.
