For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc.


Just published at Dagogo.com, my article "Audiophile Law: Burn In Test Redux". 

Validation of my decision ten years ago.  :)

The claim of the ignorant. We have 0 issue measuring differences. What we can’t do is interpret how some may perceive that. However, we are pretty good at determining if it will be perceptible.
How do you measure natural timbre perception in a room refining the room settings WITHOUT human ears?

For depth imaging it is the same thing ? HOW ?




I forget that you dont even know they are MAINLY and FIRST and LAST neuro-physiological phenomena coming from the room AND the speakers tuning, not from electronic settings which is necessary but secondary....

Then they are NO WAY to measure timbre perception and depth imaging WITHOUT human ears...

An electronic tool is only that a tool, not a MEASURE of the perceived timbre or depth imaging....The real measure is provided by the listening ears....For sure it is theoretically possible if we use an A.I. to mimic that, but we speak here bout the normal tools at hands and the usual condition in audio experience...

Anyway, anyone knowing what are these phenomema and when emerge these phenomena in a room for some ears know that it not possible to recreate them out of electronic method ONLY....

Save for a perfect audio laboratory where all variables could be controlled no ears are needed there for sure except at the end to assess the job done... Then your affirmation that all could be measured witout EARS is false in the usual settings of the average listener... EARS are mandatory here to controls the parameters of ALL tools at hands...

Saying half truth is distorting reality....
Once again I ask: When are you guys going to prove empirically that all cables, caps, etc. sound the same? We're waiting for a full test on induced noise of all types plus study of impedance matching, phase coherence, etc. Do you really still use 18ga zip cord on your speakers?

And that is more respect than this pompous and bass ackward comment deserves.
That’s a joke. He doesn’t respect anyone except himself.
Put a fork in me I am done. Mahgister makes some valid points that will no doubt be lost on some. 
Denverfred,

if you want empirical, Abbey Road Studios uses Van Damme cables throughout, 2.5km of it, at £4 per metre. If spending more than that was necessary, I think they would. Good enough for them, is good enough for me. I use it throughout too. But not 2.5km !
