Colin Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 big debate about that actually, some experts that I regard think that it works, I can't tell any difference, not the same issue as warming up the equipmnet or breaking in the cones, those I have heard...

WMcD Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 The burn in thing is total nonsense. Even if burn in had any merit you could do it equally with Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, or Beethoven. OTHO maybe Dark Side of the Moon has an edge. Smile. Gil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyp Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Unsure of what a "burn-in" CD is? I have used several 15" accordian-style surround woofers (K-33, McCauley, Eminence, Dayton) in the last 10 years. After 20 hours of play, they all sounded "fuller" than they did during the first hour of play. Now, my woofer break-in procedure includes 40 hertz for 2 hours at a modest volume. Have not noticed a "break-in" effect for any other size or type (compression, rubber/foam surround) of speaker. I am less familiar with "burn-in" of electronics because it has been so long since I've had a new piece of equipment. I generally believe electronics sound better after they've been "on" for a while. However, a "burn-in" CD seems ridiculous to me. Just enjoy the music now and know that can only sound better in the future. At least until the speaker/electronics materials or magnet strength begins to break down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
