I have never heard of this before! In you shoes I would take a cynical view of this claim unless I could find some, what I considered to be unbiased, evidence. My son-in-law is a sound engineer, so I will ask him his opinion as I'm now curious.

No Aurora Australis (although it was visible at Kiama, apparently. Kiama is not far south of here), but there was a nice moony at the bus stop last night.



Incidental to this, I called into the newsagent, and they had MRJ #300 in there, Some great pics of Chris Pendleton's layout in there. in the snow.

What a coincidence - I found one in my back garden too.

When they say over £1,000 the current price for one of these is over £1,800, makes N look cheap.

When I was looking for a mini Hi-Fi last year (for Christmas) some YouTube reviews of different makes and models referred to the speakers "settling in" or "burning in" before their true sound quality could be determined. Now I'm looking for a set of (over-ear) headphones and again several reviews talk about devices "settling down" with time to appreciate the sound quality.

Is this an actual thing that happens with all devices, is it something that us ordinary listeners will not notice; or is it a myth that encourages debate amongst experts ?

If it actually happens I wonder about the value of listening to anything in the shop before choosing which model to buy !

Please help educate me !

Quote from: jpendle on Yesterday at 10:03:31 PMI hate to be a pessimist but I think that the track needs lifted and all the substructure sorted out before trying to get track back down and trains running.

A very big job, even for an enthusiast!

It looks better than most USA 1:1 scale track I have seen :D
