No, there is really nothing in the "burn-in" process of electronics that
cannot be explained by existing knowledge. When something fails during
burn-in, failure analyses are usually performed to pinpoint culprits.

More to the immediate point, it is ONLY the claims of bnurn in
for compoenents such as wires, and ONLY in the realm of high-end
audio, where the claims of burn-in are utterly unaccompanied by
ANY rational technical explanation, are devoid of ANY supporting
physical evidence, and have NEVER been subjected to any true
verification.

Burn in of electronic components in the rest of the electronic
industry is a well-understood phenonenon accompnied by real,
objective, hard data that is verifiable and repeatable. Until
the likes of "all ears" and others substantiate their claims of
"obvious differences" with real data, it remains nothing more
than unsubstantiated claims. If it is so obvious, why have they
not come forth with the obvious data.

This group has also failed to answer the objection that there
are application outside of high-end boutique audio whosen
signals are FAR more sensitive than anything found in audio, and
there is NO SUCH break-in phenomenon of the likes of wires
observed. Why is it that the ONLY ones making thses claims are
the manufacturers of wires, self-infatuated magazine wonks, and
the random salesperson here and there, and NOT A ONE of them
ever once applying any means of substantiating there claims.

Why is that "all ears?"
