Burn-in implies that after a period the changes stop and the product has reached a stationary optimal state, but insulation continues to degenerate over time, usually from exposure to UV light. The only possible reason I can think of is that there is some form of chemical release of products used in manufacturing such as release agents or gases trapped in the material that slowly leak and are replaced by air, but that means to a large extent they are relying on serendipity to finish off their products. -- CardinalFang ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CardinalFang's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=962 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29025 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
