Break in
Yesterday at 15:23:36
 
Here we go on to my next Audiophile question, break in.

Do things break in or are we just getting used to how it sounds?

Are the different electrical things actually changing, do your speakers loosen up enough that it makes a difference??

Here is an interesting thought, does the break in end? And if it does, why is it always better? Could it end up sounding worse instead of better??

I myself think that there is a break in process and most of the time it is better, but there is always the possibility that things aren't actually what we perceive.
And with tubes being an actual wear item how does this change everything up?

I have too many things floating around in my head.

As a new F15 owner there’s no doubt break in IS a thing. They are like a box of chocolates, never know what you’re going to get each time you send a signal through them. Honestly the most brutal break in I’ve experienced. It’s like trying to get a room full of nine yr olds to behave and listen, you might get lucky and have full participation but wait five minutes and all hell breaks loose. Outside of these speakers, I find break in like being the only one at a show, you get the general idea right away, but sometimes it takes a bit to find the right seat. Just my take.
