Seriously, hook your setup up to your computer, and put every song you own in a big playlist to loop for a few days (Grados don't need as much burn-in as some cans, they get quite a bit before they're shipped) - if you don't use a computer pick a few CDs that represent your collection and loop them for half a day each.

I used FM statics with average volume for some days and checked the changes every day.

But the biggest changes didn't come from burning in
but from c-pads instead of bowls

I thought it was CD 's and DVD's you could burn !!
Headphones ......Hmmm..

Dude.. just play music through it or listen to it. Burning isnt a science.

You know what a molotov cocktail is?







. . . just let the music ride, play some bassy stuff too.

Out of all the albums I own Kid A's sound seems posses more of the audible audio spectrum. I'm not sure if it makes a diffrence but I use that cd on a loop and at a volume a little higher than whats comforable for me to listen too. Call me OCD but who isn't a little in the audiophile comunity.

play bassy tracks at a volume slightly higher than your normal listening volume and leave it on loop.

oh.. and congrats on your new rs-1! they are a great pair of phones.

I love that album, and I use it regularly as a burn in type cd, also as a reference cd too!

Thermite?

Seriously, just play your usual music and let them burn in for 100 hours or so.

 

[gpalmer]

What they said. I really didn't notice a lot of change in them during burn-in...

The greatest opening five notes of any album, IMO

Sends shivers down my spine every time.
