Yikes! "break in" in audio.

This seems to be one of the more hotly and emotionally charged debates in audio, second only to the speaker wire/power cord debate, it also seems to suffer from a serious lack of scientific basis or analysis.

I agree with Marshall.............. completely.

When somebody finally shows me a measurable change that occurs in a new cap after a "break in" period, then i'll be a firm believer.

I'm a firm believer that "if it can be heard, it can be measured".

However, i also give merit to the idea that for a majority of folks "if you believe it, you will probably hear it". I think it's a caveat of being human.

I challenge the believers to "show me".
