In Reply to: Re: I can think of TWO parts that never finish breaking in. posted by theaudiohobby on November 15, 2006 at 05:09:18:
That's a very good question and I have wondered that myself. The answer would most likey be plenty of experience and patience. Perhaps a nice inventory of burned in parts would help too! But the premise that this kind of break in phenomenon "is unlikely" is understandable but not true.From the question "when is over breaking-in", jimbill was pondering if there might be a moment of oportunity when a part is at its best or maybe even past its prime. My comment about BlackGates and Fostex drivers never being finished breaking in comes from real experience. I don't think that a significant electrical value change has occurred if you're wondering how a circuit can go on working with such burned in parts. Besides, I am speaking of electrolytic power supply capacitors and single driver speakers. My CD transport, for example, is a stereo component that is not much more than a CD drive and a couple of power supply's (with Blackgates!). Yet it seems to keep sounding better even though the 800 hours of "on" time is long over. My Omega super 3s which have only a single Fostex driver in them have never quite finished settling down and if I don't play them regularly I have to break them in a bit to get them back to where they were.
I don't blame you if you don't want to believe me 'cause it sounds crazy. But trust that I have nothing to gain by making this up.
