Cerberus,
Your observation is somewhat correct, only difference being that something like this is easily, or at least somewhat easily demonstrable. I sincerely doubt that any of the folks that claim to hear a difference between a " broken - in" and a non "broken - in " outlet would be able to tell any difference on two "otherwise" identical outlets let alone any other outlet that provide a good solid contact, should it be put to a test.
Its however useless to debate, they want to hear a difference, so they do.
Good Listening
Peter
