Amplifier Break-in Period

[logikalliquid 0]

I've been trying to explain to this guy on EvolutionM.Net that there is no such thing as a break in period for amplifiers. He says the transistor crystal's chemical composition changes slightly since they are made and don't see power until the consumer buys it(I assumed that from a comment or 2 he made). I realized I don't have much factual proof in my handds for my arguement. Are there any tests/ studied someone could point me to to further my side?

Here's the thread(they have a 5=day wait for registration so don't bother trying to quickly jump in)

what an idiot

Thats like saying monster cables make a difference in sound

We do a burn-in for all products at work with active components, but that is more for helping finding problems that don't show up in the early tests.

I got 2dBs on the old TL from my Monsters. OMG, maybe he is right on the break-in period! My transistor crystals must've been rounded off! That's must be why I'm always clipping my woofers too!

NO WAY !

Solid-state amps, you mean

Valve equipment most certainly does have a break-in time, but it's the filaments and internal structures themselves that change...not the other circuit components.

make sure you get it flowing the correct direction

That makes sense. I know absolutely nothing about tube amps... besides they're so damn pretty in the dark!

Amen, brotha...amen.

just wait till it starts lightning and get a long rod and hope you get struck
