I do, but I have no hope of it working with true believers in burn in. Basically, you record the output of the device very nicely, before and after the burn in. Then you use a Software ABX box like FOOBAR2000 ABX to compare the two. The obvious GE complaint is that my recording obscures the effects of burn in. Interesting how these obvious, mind-blowing effects become so fragile and subtle when you actually try to investigate them. ;-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arnyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64365 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106519 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
