IsoTek Burn-In CD - Page 2

I can see that burning in is an important task.
I personally see the benefit of the Isotek CD mainly in using it as a refreshment for the whole system before starting to listen. It really works. The system sounds cleaner and less muffled.

If not, I'll tear it a new one right here.
Did this ever work for you? Also, I was wondering which track you used for burning in your d5000s on the isotek. shouldnt track 2 already take care of the bass?

I'm going to be using the Isotek cd on a pair of ATH-M50s in the coming week. And also revive my bass-heavy Logitech G51 speakers...see if it will make any difference on these low-end sets.

Does anyone know if playing burn-in cd through player is absolute, or if we could get away burning cd to Apple Lossless and playing through iTunes at will, without need of cd?

I'm guessing pure-cd bitrate is necessary.

Why would you need the cd? Its the sound exercise that is important, not the format. I have mine on my hard drive in lossless format to make sure all information is intact.

Just use it via iTunes (AIFF might be actually better)

I've been using Track 9 of the XLO Burn-in disc for years. Works great.
Same here, burning in new D5000's with this track for the last two nights.

I can't stand the sound of that CD.

how is this much different than pink/white noise and a series of frequencies?

It just combines it pink noise playing while lots of dynamic sweeps coming through to give the drivers some motion

Hate to revive an old thread, but, for headphones, are you guys using track 1, or 2 to burn in?  I just got my grado 325is's, and while I'm at work, I'd like to start the burn in.

As I recall, Track one is supposedly for "small" systems and track two for "larger" systems that includes a subwoofer. I have many times used both tracks, no damage noticed, but if you're worried about damaging the driver I would just go for track one or at least start out with this one.

Correct. If you are also scared of damaging the driver I would suggest playing some recording of rainfall with or without thunder. My burn CDs consist of sweeps, pink noise, and rain. I leave the 3 CDs on repeat and then go out to do what I need to.

May be you should lower your volume.  I have been using all three tracks to burn-in a tube.
