Randy, your explanation of the break-in phenomenon makes as much sense as any other, but the "good" electrons are known as Coopers pairs....Quantum physics is a rough field to understand and has as many theories as there are folks in the field, but electrons do appear to have different energy states....At a more practical level I think the problem of measuring the phenomenon is primarily due to the equipment necessary is well beyond what any audio company could afford. I have posed the problem of break-in to the head of a materials science department at a major university and am waiting for a response, but I expect the effect can be measured as it sure is audible....Back to the quantum level impurities, grain barriers, vancanies and the like in material lattices do change with current flow.....I think one of the problems with break-in in audio is that the voltages and currents are so low that the effects of damaged lattices becomes extremely important.....This would explain why the MOBIE works so well as it drives materials well beyond what they would ever see in an audio system with positive results......I'll report back if I get something definitive from the kind Dr. who has agreed to help me in my quest for a simple and scientific explanation.....
