You're the one who brought up the comparison to "flat earth theory". This isn't about CD players. This isn't about saying that there's no difference between anything. We're talking about whether or not burn-in makes a difference in cables/electronics. So here's the deal: no one can force anyone to believe something. There are some here who claim to be able to hear certain differences. Others of us (myself included) have been unable to hear such differences. So that leaves us to assess the facts to evaluate the claims being made. Outside of anecdotal claims of being able to hear differences the facts are decidedly *against* those who claim to be able to hear the supposed effects of burn-in (yet there are a host of psychological theories that would explain what burn-in advocates are hearing). So for those of us who remain skeptics, understand where we're coming from. For me, the existence of burn-in effects is about as likely as the existence of UFOs from outer space. Possible? maybe, but highly unlikely, and ultimately unproven despite many claims of sightings. And let's be clear: there are loads of other effects in play. I'll wager that moving any piece of furniture in your listening room even an inch would have more affect on the sound than any possible cable burn-in could. -- azinck3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ azinck3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33615 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
