    Measuring burn-in is not done by way of a 'sound component'.
    It's 'measurable' by way of an elecron microscope or an optical comparator.

    That said:
    Audiophools don't even agree on what good sound -is-,,,,
    .. so how can they possibly agree on what parts are best to achieve -it-?

      I've got the coveted "golden ears"...... Blow a dog whistle in my presence and be amazed!

      Even with unusually able ears I cannot hear the difference in electrolytics in an amp unless the component is badly out of spec.

      I also cannot hear any difference in interconnect once you progress beyond plain RG59 cable.... not can I hear the difference between my type SJOOW power cable and $2/foot stuff in regards to speaker wire.

      We were using crazy transparent speakers....a wonderful if not hideously impractical design a friend and I cooked up when we were still called teenagers LOL. Almost a meter tall... a half meter wide and 1/4 meter deep approximately. Drivers are a Dayton Series II 12" woofer, a Dayton RS-150 6" midrange and a Morel MDT-20 1 1/8" tweeter. Sealed mid/tweeter box, dual ported woofer box...all done on a computer with Win ISD.

        Crazy transparent speakers designed by WinISD? You may as well have used pre made crossovers.

          Help troubleshooting an audio problem with an RCA SGT-250 CED Player
          by samson7point1@yahoo.com
          The Problem: This player has a toggle switch to select between Stereo, Mono R, and Mono L. Regardless of the setting it outputs the sound to both the L&R audio jacks. In the Mono R position, the audio output level is normal (from both the L and R audio output jacks), in the Stereo position the audio output is about half the volume, and in Mono L, it's about 3/4 the volume. Something about putting it into Stereo mode is causing the volume to drop significantly and I can't figure it out.

          The player processes the audio signal using two different reference frequencies. The "R"...

          Roland KR-3500/4500 Digital Piano. Crackling audio sound on all keys -Fixed
          by i_am_patch
          Hi All. I had a Roland KR-3500 Digital Piano (similar to the KR-4500) that exhibited a Crackling audio sound on all keys. After reading somewhere about someone with a similar issue who had replaced all the Electrolytic caps I decided to also go down that route. (Spoiler : It worked !) After some basic troubleshooting I determined that it could be noise feeding thru from the Keyboard scanning since the Demo tunes played back undistorted and the Audio amp / speakers were fine ( Inserted an Audio signal into the rear Audio input). After extracting the main board from the shield, I replaced 7 Capacitors...

          Monitor Audio RSW12 - Green light but no audio
          by MOSSEP
          Hi

          Im hoping someone might be able to give me some idea of what may be wrong with my Monitor Audio RSW12 Sub.

          Ive owned it since new in around 2002, so would really like to keep it running if I can, it was the first ‘decent' bit of audio equipment I ever purchased and is a little sentimental.

          The issue I had was that it would power up with the red light, but sometimes the green light would not come on and I would get no bass from it. If the green light did come on though, I would get sound out of it.

          I have already tried replacing all of the...

          MacBook Air 2337 - Right I/O Board Audio IC - Alternative Replacement?
          by grimacelord
          Hello,

          I'm working on a MacBook Air A2337 that had liquid damage on the right I/O board. I ultrasonic cleaned the board and it all functions except the computer has no audio. I tried reballing the audio IC which is TAS5770AC0, but that did not restore audio. I could just replace the entire board, but I wanted to see if replacing the audio IC would fix it first. Mouser has a similar audio IC in stock which is TAS5770LC0YFFR, but I wasn't sure if it is compatible. I was just wondering if anyone knew if I could use the one from mouser as an acceptable replacement or if I need to purchase...

          Dell Vostro 5490 - no sound, no audio device
          by Piaskos
          Hi, i've got problem with Dell Vostro 5490.
          Board - Mantis CML 18788-1

          Windows says "no audio device detected". The other functions work properly.

          What i've done:

          1. I checked motherboard

          2. I changed audio codec (ALC3204)

          3. I reflashed bios with clear ME

          4. Audio is enable in bios

          5. Both speakers are good

          6. After installing the drivers from the Dell website, the devices visible in the manager:
          - Audio for intel displays
          - Intel Smart Sound Technology...
