General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

"Silicon, solder, and copper do not change their characteristics..."

Nor presumably (inter alia) do stainless steel, wood etc. -- with exercise by electrical currents, or magnetic fields, or cryogenic chambers, or mechanical vibration. (Just taking these unproven assumptions to the next step.) Yet even in the JAES (!) one can find a recent article on how much better certain string instruments sound, after eighty years.

As for "becoming used to the sonic 'signature' of your new equipment," I'd like to see the peer-reviewed double-blind tests that support those conclusions. ...Seriously, the writer is simply wrong; I have compared side-by-side broken-in and non-broken-in items from the same production batch and (sometimes) what a difference!
