I have always been a little sceptical about the break in issue. I have always felt that I'm getting used to the sound and over time I think it sounds better. An example is the other day I had a Tom Evans CD player. A friend who has a G08 sat and listened for a short time and declared the Tom Evans CD player to be the best by a long way. At �5k it should be. We then did the test again blind and he picked the G08 3 out of 3 as been the best even after running in. We agreed that he picked the Tom Evans player because it must sound better due to the price. I think it's all psychological. Any evidence to suggest otherwise?
