proper burn in for cd player

I recently purchased a Denon 5910 universal player with Hot Rod Audio modifications about a month ago. The thing sounded great out of the box compared to the player that I had before. I was told it will only get better with burn in time. I have been listening to the player with my favorite music about two to three hours a day. It does sound smoother than when I received it.

I was wondering if there was a commonly used method for burning in a player? I see burn in cds advertised, but I don't really understand the process.

Thank you for any help on this subject.

This has been discussed many times on Audiogon. There are those that believe in it and those that don't.

Simply from an engineering design perspective, a drift in response over time is an undesirable drawback in a high quality audio component. Most equipment manufacturers will try to make their designs reliable and stable under a variety of operating conditions including temperature, load and over time.

Armstrod,

Ever tried using a vaccuum cleaner with the air intake plugged?

Of course the amp needs to be on, or else the flow of electrons inside the CD player will be trapped, which can be very bad unless you loosen the screws on the CD player lid to allow electron pressure to dissipate.

LOL ;-)
