No, not really, but an experience over the weekend got me thinking.
Tired of looking at my gear on the floor, and tired of bending down every time I wanted to change a CD, I bought myself a nice sideboard-style rack. Setting it up involved a fair bit of lugging stuff around and lifting heavy amps off the floor and that kind of malarkey, so that by the time I sat down to listen I was sweating like a pig and anything but relaxed (I know, I know, I'm not very fit).
Anyway, initially the hifi sounded really poor, but as time went on things improved noticeably. Sure enough, when I came back to listen later on it sounded even better again. I can only assume my rack burned-in.....
....well, it could be that my breathing returned to normal, my heart-rate decreased to its usual levels, I relaxed, and my ears improved accordingly. But no, burn-in is more likely, right?
