The pros say there's no damned thing as the break-in I just described. My ears weren't breaking in because I wasn't home that weekend. I just let them play. And as I said, one pair was already broken in.

I always thought that was nonsense not because gear doesn't break in but because I thought no one could hear it. I also thought cable differences couldn't be heard. I was wrong on both counts.
