would it be more efficient to have a lot of stuff playing at the same time, like pink noise, trance music, r&b, rock, rap, pop? instead of having one thing playing at a time.

I believe using pink/white noise covers most of the audio spectrum and according to a break in guide of the cables I recently bought, it says that pink/white noise "carries 95% of the signal necessary for ultimate cable performance"... So far, burning in with a white/pink noise cd (half cd is white other half is pink) has worked well for me... The cables are improving faster than I usually anticipate for a copper IC, and the day to day is more dramatic than what I am use to as well (I am only doing about 10-12 hours of white/pink a day too).

oh and pink noise is best. white doesnt cover whole spectrum

Pardon my ignorance, but what is white and pink noise? Can I download white and pink tracks to burn to a CD to use or do I need to purchase them somewhere?

Also, while I'm at it: Is there a place I can download a 20Hz-20KHz sine sweep?

White noise is a constantly varying barrage of all audible frequencies at various amplitudes. Pink noise is all audible frequency noise, but is at the same amplitude at each octave.

A good investment would be an audio test disc, indispensible for setting up systems and troubleshooting problems. Also quite useful for burning stuff in!

I personally don't think it is necessary to run sweeps or any particular kind of noise to break-in headphones, though these tracks may be useful for cables. Since you didn't specify what you are burning in, I will simply say that any bass heavy music will be fine for burning in headphones.

ohhhh, someone told me that white noise was 400hz up

Just out of curiosity, would it be better to just download this 10 second pink noise wav clip from here and just loop the 10 seconds for 80 minutes with a sound editing program (GoldWave, SoundForge, CoolEdit, etc) and use that instead of spending $20 and buying this ?
Would it be as effective? If so then I'll have to make room for a temporary 700mb wav file

Thnx

Or you could always set the 10 second file to repeat.

Pink noise may be attractive from a theoretical viewpoint, but I would use FM radio for a continuously varying complex waveform. If you're going to teach it tricks - teach it ones worth knowing.
