I would never have the opinion that gravity makes things go up rather then down on this planet, or that water does not make things wet anymore then I woild a cable with carbon fiber wrapping makes a for better sound then one from mono price.

But that is for another discussion.[/size]

Wow. Do you really need me to explain that I was referring to things of science?
We can measure the differences between a new headphone and a burned in headphone, but I assume that you, like I, believe that these differences are below the threshold of human hearing. Scientifically speaking, we
can measure burn-in, that is, the differences in measured quantities of a headphone at t=0 and t>0. But ultimately, we're just humans listening to music (or test tones if you're weird), so we don't really care if we can measure a difference of a microohm or a dBm. What we're discussing is the
audibility of the changes in a headphone caused by burn-in, it's a much more interesting question!
Lo and behold, we have moved from the world of science to the world of engineering standards (if you're reading, this should have been clear woooords ago)!
It would be great for those that believe I'm "burn in" or differences cables can make at least either finish their post with a.) acknowledging no scientific proof or measurable study has ever been done to prove their opinions or b.) provide such proof?
I'm mean really what is there to debate? I can't even play Devils advocate because nothing exist to back up the other side.
If you can't find a single reason to disagree with your hypothesis, perhaps you should examine your assumptions. Smacks of dogmatism... Perhaps we should make the burn-in believers wear a scarlet B on their jackets
When it comes to an opinion which would go against science you are correct I am void of all those.
Quoted for posterity. Let Science's Almighty Will be done!
EDIT: I realize that I don't have to argue about what science is and is not in this thread, sorry about that y'all, my bad. I just think Vacheron is being far too cavalier...
