| GOOD TUBES, BAD TUBES @oddiofyl - Ah, so: the pins have the typical scratch/polish, from working against a socket’s fingers/walls, not, "patina". It’s hard not to get those from plugging tubes into certain testers, as well, but: hey... ... | |
| Power Cable Break In - Such a Change! @carlsbad- I don't believe anyone said, ""a copper wire will change with low levels of current flowing through it for 300 hours." However: Physics, years of study and scientific measurements have categorically proven that semiconductor... | |
| GOOD TUBES, BAD TUBES @oddiofyl - Patina is a result of a material's exposure to things in the atmosphere, not to those found in a tube socket. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patina I've never seen tube pins corrode, due to con... | |

| Power Cable Break In - Such a Change! OH, and: it takes some time for the dielectric to form, take a charge, polarize, or however one chooses to define the process, when a dielectric is subjected to electromagnetic waves, which affects the Poynting vectors, measurably/predictably... | |
| Power Cable Break In - Such a Change! @holmz- Bear with me a minute, in my folly, far as a possibility on why a power cord might make a difference. Based on some of the theories on how electricity works, simplified: The conductor acts as a waveguide for the signal... | |
| Burning in question Leaving a SS amp turned on, 24/7/365, keeps it warmed up and sounding it’s best (circuits are energized). SS amps are typically safe to turn/leave on, without a load. Given those two observations: it should benefit/can’t hurt. | |
| Power Cable Break In - Such a Change! "And 96%?!?! Really? If you want to quote something so specific, about something we don’t know of, seriously, How smart are you?" AS IF I made the numbers up? Get a clue! (fifty or sixty implied punctua... | |
| Power Cable Break In - Such a Change! @jpeters568 - The goal of the Scientific Method: to, "ANSWER" WHY observed phenomena occur. The steps of the scientific method include: 1) asking a QUESTION about something you observe, 2) doing background research to learn what is... | |

| Power Cable Break In - Such a Change! @jpeters568 - As ANYONE, that has the slightest inkling of how the process works, knows: "...when science doesn't have an *ANSWER," it comes up with a, "THEORY". *ie: To that other 96% of this universe, Science can't explain ... | |
