Re: 0 to 3 months is typical

In Response To: 0 to 3 months is typical *NM* ()

I encounter this type of thing when buying home stereo speakers and wire. Supposedly, there's a break-in period of the speakers AS WELL as the wire! Sounds crazy, but people swear by it. I tend to agree, as I've heard changes over time on my system...

However, don't y'all think that if a (good) product needed to be broken-in, they'd do it at the factory so the buyer would get a "perfect", ready-to-go piece of equipment? That's what I'd do if I was the quality control person for one of these companies (then I'd have the marketing group tout it like crazy--"No Break-In Required").

Just my $0.02.
