Ah, sorry I was expecting you guys to use the subtitle option. You're right, I should've mentioned that.
The subtitles were in French too! I probably missed an option to autotranslate them (I don't watch much foreign-language content on Youtube). Thanks!
yes, there is an option to auto-translate.
First of all, it's called BREAK-IN, it has NEVER been called burn-in. Bulbs/tubes/valves burn-in. Anything mechanical has a break-in period, from vacuum cleaners to automobiles and heavy equipment. It can be from 2 minutes on tweeters to a few hundred hours on heavy equipment. Bulbs, on the other hand, have a pass or fail burn-in period, usually around 24 hours. Electronics usually have an infant mortality rating. The more moving parts they have, the longer that period is. EX: a CD or actual HD vs a cell phone or a memory drive. You can usually get that type of information from the manufacturer of the product.
Bulbs are in the garden.
Well, there's the rub. I was just a lowly mechanic. They were called light bulbs. Some of the repair manuals referred to them as bulbs, lights, and once in a while, they were called lamps. Usually in European manual.
Normally, I call a complete assembly with a switch "a lamp" and if I had to use fire to light them, a lantern. Strange that they call the cover for the complete assembly a "lampshade", maybe you have something there. A fixture shade. I had to look it up. "Running-in, Breaking-in, or bedding-in." I had to think on that one, bedding-in refers to "seating".
That is bringing any equipment or instrument up to operational readiness or warming up, it is not break-in. A turntable usually has to stabilize to be speed accurate, and the lubricants have to warm up. Same with all equipment, then they cool down. In Alaska, it happens pretty quickly; in Las Vegas, it can take days for the oil to completely cool down to ambient.
Why don't you just tell us the video's conclusions so we don't have to watch the video? (I'm never going to watch the video. I almost never watch videos. They're an extremely slow way to transmit information and I'm easily annoyed by them. I'm comfortable with this personal failing.)
Well I sort of told it answering Kyu a few posts above, nothing new under the sun, but sometimes the travel is more important than the destination, it's a very well made video, the guy is just very good, you might learn one or two things along the way and discover a very good channel. That's the best channel I've seen on the subject personally, a mix of teaching skills and relevant knowledge. Try another video on the channel if you have no interest on the subject.
I come here to learn things. I'm not in the market for a youtube channel (or for someone here trying to promote one for whatever reason).
I don't know why you feel the need to be so hostile, I don't promote it for "whatever reason", I explicitly gave you the reasons, "I come here to learn things", yes me too, that is the reason. Obviously you'll never understand it because you'll never watch any of these videos. Now move along please.
