As for you, you have made no point, except for criticizing me personally, having found no objective point in the argument. The internet has worked to expand the knowledge and understanding of the younger generation to provide us with information to challenge arrogant old nuts, like yourself
Oh brother. Just an FYI: This old nut had a SLIP connection from my Amiga 500 in 89/90.

Not that you would natively know what slip is w/o googling it;)

FYI if claims are not quickly substantiated with real world peer reviewed and accepted studies or other directly correlated evidence and data if anything that is not germane then any weird or weak analogous posts that have zero bearing will be moderated. Discussion is good. Discussion also means coming to the point and backing up claims with irrefutable evidence.

Seriously, I have no life.
...as the sound waves changes the molecular alignment of the materials.
Note the part where I say, "whether for for good or for bad". Age is able to deteriorate the sound of bad instruments, and enhance the sound of good ones. Not my words, but the words of any respectable luthier.

And no, electrons do not shift orbits. If you thought so, you might need to return to high school...?
Well, since you passed through high school you can explain how the molecules are realigned with sound waves over time. How much time? Is this an ongoing process, never ending?
Please, be very specific in your explanation as I have a physics test coming up.
How do these molecules know which instrument is a good sounding instrument and which one is bad to so the right instrument is affected accordingly??? Details please. I am sure there are a few here who are intrigued by this and want to grasp every detail.

How do these luthiers know? What tests do they make to confirm this? Any link to such testing methods? You seem to be a very bright person and should have all this at your finger tip, no?

I do not rule out that there may be other factors that could contribute to burn in. Sound waves wearing in the wood isn't one of them.

Oh, it is not the waves by themselves but the temperatures they also create realign the molecules. The luthiers said so.

No wonder why he's so stubbornly dwelling in old technologies...

To begin, an instrument is like a bottle of wine. Some have the potential to age well, while others do not. Similarly, sound vibrations are able to improve the ones with potential, as well as deteriorate the ones without, much like a bottle of wine. How can a luthier tell? I don't know, I am not a luthier, but he probably learned something in violin school. How can a sommelier tell? Same answer.

As an analogy to the composition of wood, you can try experimenting with a plate of sand. Create an unevenness to the sand, raising some areas and depressing other areas. Place it on top of a speaker, and see what happens. The vibrations causes the sand to level out. Wood does the same thing, but at a slower pace.

Really? So inside an instrument has chemicals reactions occuring inside of it? Oh wait, it has vibrations causing it to align itself orderly :rolleyes:

How do you empirically define "improve" and "age well"? How do you empirically define poor aging and deterioiration of an instrument?

Ahh, the classic snake oil subscriber's random experiments that don't serve any purpose of establishing an apparently empirically observable phenomonon's ACTUAL observability.

And how should I experiment with dielectric break in? by stroking my- okay anyways.

We had an earthquake here.

The vibrations of the earth changed the tuning of my speaker cabinets! I can't hear it, but I just know from reading this threaad that they sound awful now. :mad:

Crap, I'm gonna have to take 'em to Hone Depot and put 'em on the paint mixer until their sound returns to normal. :rolleyes:

Actually, history got it wrong.

All those old violins were made by a guy name Strata. He did make a lot, but each was a little different.

So, collectively, they were known as "Strata Various" and, over time, the name was shortened and the spelling was changed. :D

jinjuku: a theory is something that is backed by observation and true until solidly disproved.
A common distinction made in science is between theories and hypotheses, with the former being considered as satisfactorily tested or proven and the latter used to denote conjectures or proposed descriptions or models which have not yet been tested or proven.

Until it's tested or proven, it's not a theory.

Told you guys he wouldn't know:p

Yep, jquery and php are old technologies. I better stop coding in those languages with MySQL as the back end:D

Yep SLIP is old and was replaced circa 93/94 if I can recall correctly with PPP.

And the definition of a theory is:

a coherent group of tested general propositions, commonly regarded as correct, that can be used as principles of explanation and prediction for a class of phenomena:

You seriously don't know what you are talking about. Well this thread has reached it's end. Humsin is an idiot, that is my theory. Soon to be proven it is a natural law.
