Raise your hand if you agree with this (raises his hand)! Arguably, certain components found in guitars (i.e. electric pickups) also age and mature. True? Isn't that a burn-in of non-mechanical parts? Phil Leigh;618566 Wrote: > Electronics don't age in the same GOOD way - they only age in a bad > way...eventually. That is in the eye of the beholder (or, more precisely, in the ear of the behearer). The fact is that they age, period. How you subjectively choose to interpret that process of aging is, of course, fully debatable.

Cables age with use, don't they? The electrical current travels along the length of the cables, thus changing them bit by bit. Undeniable fact. How we choose to interpret that fact is another matter altogether. -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86359 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
