crossover "break in" time? (Off Topic)

Hi Mike,

Nice topic...but I can't help you either.

I accept something sounds better after being used for a while, I want to
understand exactly why.

Can someone point me in the right direction please?

Never thought about it deeply and personally not really of interest because you can't do anything about that, in practise this is just the case. I can make it worse for you though, wiring needs to burn/break in too. A good test is to have an new interconnect burn/break in for some time connected in a certain direction. If you turn the wire around after a while (current flowing in the opposite direction) then the sound is very much changed and for the worse!

Nothing has changed to the frequency response but on a transparent sounding system the change can be described as having a new wire again that has to be burned/broken in again.

Its weird, I know and for technicians a brain torture simply because they want to understand why...

Ciao,

Bert
