Best interconnect burn-in method

@Schubert. If some of what qualifies as "music," anymore, can serve as a guide, I’d submit that it is subject to de/bi/Omni-directional evolution.

You may suggest that it’s just cultural, but that might lead off a chicken-or-egg baited cliff. Culture can affect evolution--or at least selection.

Anyway, I agree that the most important component is between the ears.  In many instances, I think that is actually what is burning-in when some new gear is added.

As someone born in 1935 I can assure you what passes for music at present does NOT serve as a guide  and actually makes my point 
on culture .
Take a rock concert for instance, it is impossible that  X-thousand people
could all decide to  raise their arm , same arm, at same time , and wave same in unison because of the music . It is a social event not a musical one
and follows that cultural norm . Reminds me of a Nazi rally(no joke) .
Yes on selection but that is not evolution .
 Yes also on new gear as well .

Things are worse than you think. Much worse. You only think science, acoustics, electronics, neuroscience, whatever, can explain it all and that you can actually control it because you’ve lived with your while life. Besides, it’s subconscious. You can’t do anything about it even if you wanted to. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

note to self: you know you’re probably in a controversial thread as soon as the word Nazi raises its head.

Actually its good news, if you only put good stuff in your subconscious , and don't do drugs, only good stuff comes out .

Sorry to be the one to tell you but you cannot control what goes into the subconscious. Hence the "sub" in subconscious. Especially when what’s in the subconscious was put there hundreds of thousands of years ago and has remained there through the evolution process. You aren't born with a clean slate. You cannot control the controller.
