Audiophiles are flat-earthers who live in their own world, where there is no place for knowledge, but only faith and personal feelings. In fact, this video is not about hi-fi, but about faith.
It is not the speakers that warm up, but the ears.
Many audiophiles believe that new acoustics do not sound as expected right out of the store - they need to be allowed to work for a few days so that the components “get used to” each other. An example is often given of a pair of new leather boots - they can pinch and rub your feet in places, but if you wear them in a little, all problems will become a thing of the past. Does warming up really affect the sound of speakers, or is this just another audiophile myth?
Have you heard such stories that a person in a store listened to acoustic speakers, liked them, bought them, brought them home, but they don’t sound at home? Are the acoustics new and not warmed up? But after a couple of days of warming up, the speakers opened up - the bass became deeper, the highs smoothed out, and now I’ve been listening for a week and can’t turn it off.”
Break-in period amplifiers and wires.
The myth of warming up was so deeply rooted in the minds of audiophiles that they began to warm up absolutely everything.
Some people even warm up their sound cards. Probably, if the same people were into gaming, they would enthusiastically heat up video cards and processors.
