Just about everything breaks or runs in. Cars clothes shoes and yes even electronics. Speakers like shoes are stiff when new and soften up with use and become more flexible and thus sound smoother etc. When designers are voicing speakers they usually do so with fully broken in drivers so they sound as intended when broken in not when new and stiff. Electronics have there own version of this.
What is "break in" and what difference does it make? In amps? Preamps? Speakers? More?
Hi folks,
Newbie question. I read often about a break-in period for speakers, amps. Can someone explain what this means, technically and to the listener's ears?
Is there a difference in what one hears when it comes to speaker break-in vs. component break-in?
Are there levels (quality) where break-in makes no difference?
Thanks.
