I'm very interested in the theoretical burn-in process, and I was wondering which headphones, in your opinion exemplified it most blatently.
Thank-you
Thank-you
I don't know the answer, but I do know there are many topics of it. Do a search and you will probably find your answer. |
Burn in is much like breaking in new shoes to my mind. All parts need to relax and become accustomed to how they will be used, and to some extent everything needs to melt into one, instead of many seperate parts bolted together. I'm in the camp that thinks its an actual physical process, not mental whatsoever. Lol, you can't prove if someone is imagining it anyway! |
The word "burn in" whould suggest that it has something to do with temperature. Might the term been carried over from the electrostatic times where headphones need to reach a certain operating temperature to perform optimally? Other than that I'm not sure how burn-in can help. A search at wikipedia pulls up this For electronic components, burn in is frequently conducted at elevated temperature and perhaps elevated voltage. This process may also be called heat soaking. The components may be under continuous test or simply tested at the end of the burn in period. |
