Thanks Twl. Perhaps my system or ears are not sufficiently sensitive to hear difference ... I fully accept that this is a possibility.
You know, there's one post above that raises a question that has been on my mind regarding this issue .... "why does everyone report the sound improving during break-in ?" If break-in is a purely electrical phenomenon then wouldn't we have a good proportion of components sound worse after break-in ? However, if the effect is in large part psychological then this would go some way to explain why everything sounds better after break in since our brains are wonderfully adaptable to new experiences.
Now I'm not posting this to provoke the "believers", rather because I think it was a very interesting point.
