No Sir I don’t agree to this concept of brain getting accustomed to. In my opinion and from 40 years experience I can say with certainty than every audio equipment including cables need burn in time.
Those claiming brain getting accustomed to the sound are ignorant or not good listeners who can’t differentiate between pre and post burn in sound.
Yeah, it's your brain burning into it. Trust me. I'm almost 100% sure that's the case. Burn-in exists in the brain.
I'm an electrical engineer, if burn in was real, it would've been a class. The world of electrical engineering is real and analogue at the end of the day (digital isn't really digital if you get my gist). A square wave isn't even a square wave, it's made up of a bunch of sine waves... to make up 0 -> 1, anyway besides the point... We look at really detailed stuff, and burn in isn't really real otherwise I would've taken a course on how to correct my designs for burn in.
Can you imagine if I designed a radar that required 100hrs burn in for it to be as accurate as tested? If it was real, my prof would've mentioned in during our digital signal processing courses.
I'm 100000% certain burn-in happens in the brain.
Components do burn in, I agree, but not to the degree that you can tell. And we do burn-in tests to TEST components for failure points, not to get better signal out of them.
I deal with a lot of detailed stuff during designing systems for signal processing, and speakers are really lousy actually. I'm talking about a bluetooth antenna that operates at 2.4ghz, and if what you say about burn in is true, then it should be creating HUGE differences at those frequencies, yet I don't see them, but somehow in the 0-20khz frequency, it makes a big deal? I don't buy it.
I’ll throw some crazier things:
if burnin was real your laptop won’t be full speed until hundreds of hours into it.
if burnin was real, you won’t be able to transfer files as fast on your router until it’s been on for hundreds of hours
if burning waa real, your physical hard drive would literally be slow until the disks warmed up
if burning was real your smart phone would be slow until hundreds of hours later, your speakers would be weird until hundreds of hours of hsage
