I've had a few questions on my mind, so why not put them all in one post, eh?
Burn in. It makes you phones sound better. But what is it really doing? What is taking place? Does burn in apply to speakers and other audio equipment such as headphone amps? Or electronics in generel?
Why does audio-technica's wooden phones ( W100, W2002, etc)
make such a dramatic difference when burned in compared to other phones? Is it the wood? (regarding Tomcat's post http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showth...&threadid=9155 )
I rember Mrael saying that because of the wooden enclosures on audio-technica's phones (he was refering to the W2002 at the time) burn in would never stop. Or in other words, i guess, never reach its limits.
Next...
The Sony R-10's wooden encloseures are made from Zelkova trees which are native to Japan. (I think)
What types of wood are the W2002's and W100's made of?
I think the W2002's are made of Cherry wood, right? What about the W100's?
OK last but not least, anyone can see the W2002's are heavily lacqured, how about the R-10 and W100. Just a light coating or none at all?
That should keep you gents busy!
