I absolutely believe in burn in and have experienced it.
First, from a scientific perspective, I can reason it this way. You're taking matter and vibrating it repeatedly for hours. As far as conductive material, you're running current through it for hours.
If you take a box of raisin bran and shake it up, eventually, the raisins go to the bottom. Think about molecules with either electric or vibrational forces affecting them in the same manner repeatedly over time.
Recently, I purchased Ultrasone Pro 900s. One song I listened to had a female vocalist with a particularly high voice. When she'd hit an "s" in the song, the sibilance was completely unnatural sounding. I mean, NO ONE sounds that shrill, sharp and metallic. After several dozen hours, the harmonics flying off of her "s" were noticeably less. I'm still breaking the 900s in. If the trend continues (as I expect that it will), the unnatural sound of the "s" will be gone completely.
Doesn't the vibration/excitation and settling of molecules make sense to those who consider themselves to be scientific skeptics who don't understand the phenomenon?
