I was reading some posts on another site debating break in of audio gear.
Something ticked.
Maybe the folks who love the sound of vintage gear do so because that gear over the course of years of playing has truly been broken in.
Perhaps the folks who scoff at the break in concept and claim it doesn't exist are-
1- the folks who own vintage gear
2- never keep the gear long enough to hear it break in.
So here's something to ponder-
Real audiophile keeps gear long enough for it to break in
Fake audiophile - constantly finding fault with gear and switching about(perhaps due to snap judgement and no break in period).
