There is no short answer here, as I have heard varying amounts of difference depending the the product and even the application. As mentioned above, there is an endless amount of opinion about this topic in many other threads. Good reading.
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.
