It is the beer. Over the years, I have found that the more beer I drink, the louder I can turn up the volume to get the best sound. Alas, I had to quit drinking when replacement mids were discontinued for my speakers. I also had to limit Maynard Ferguson to my old system with electronicly activated speaker protection.
Is it the beer or do speakers/electronics really need some extended warm-up period?
To me, one of life's best times are a cold beer and listening to good music. I have noticed that the longer the listening/drinking session, the better the sound. Is it the beer or do the electronics/mechanical components mellow out after some burn-in period? Thought about listening with no beer, but that's not happening.
