Just to add my two ha'penny's worth I used to design precision electronic test equipment. We used to burn it in at elevated temperatures and at higher voltages than normal supply voltages. This had nothing to do with accuracy of the the device, and everything to do with accelerating infant mortality. If the device survived the burn in, then it was probably going to out last the guarantee period.
I think that much of the nonsense written about burn-in with hifi gear comes from certain speaker designs where the compliance of the suspension changed during the first few weeks of usage and the speakers sounded better for it. Somehow, with the usual lack of rigor in the hifi press, this got transferred to electronic equipment, and I have even seen an article on burning-in speaker cables...... -- Andy8421 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Andy8421's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16846 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77727 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
