Hi, loudspeaker burn in is smart,especially for the loudspeaker designer
before the system is designed, amp burn in is dumb as the more the amp
is in operation, to more the logic of deteriotaion of the electrolytics
in the circuitry is increasing the ESR of the capacitors., and this ESR
Equalent Series Resistance is making the amp sound more distorted in the
long run.

If speaker break-in is dumb, is amp burn-in dumber? Or is there a
sensible explanation involving capacitors and such? I won't name the
brand, but I was reading customer reviews of a certain well regarded
model and most of the owners said that it took 30 days for this amp to
finish burning in and then it sounded great after that point. 30 days is
usually how long you get to return an item. So, does amp burn-in exist
and is it more necessary on certain models?

Electrolytics actually improved when powered.

Neither burn-ins are as vital as "Cable Burn In". As our salesman puts it
"To get the molecules all alinged magnetically" !!!
