RE: Transformer "Break-in" Question

"How do you know 1000 hours is 95% broken in?"

Is that what I wrote? Check your reading comprehension.

I see that you want to turn this into some kind of subjectivist/objectivist argument. If your standards require some form of rigorous A/B comparisons; then no, I did not attempt to do this and you can feel free to ignore what I wrote. If putting percentage numbers to my subjective observations offends your sense of rigor then I will amend my statement:

After about 300 hours or so, the transformers seemed to be well on their way to being broken-in. After 500 hours, give or take 50 hours, some further small improvement was discernable. After approximately 1000 hours another very small improvement was apparent to me (it's small so I may be fooling myself). After ten more years of on and off use (who knows how many hours) no further improvements were noted.
