A post in another thread (by Al ears) got me thinking about this. My own belief, subjective rather than evidence based, is that for solid-state electronics it's probably not needed but, for anything with moving parts, e.g. speakers, headphones and cartridges, just as in an engine, there may be some stiffness affecting performance that needs a period of use to alleviate.
What do other people think about this? I do believe my headphones, Focal Elegia, benefited from the 30 hours running in I gave them. I suspect there is not really a catrch-all right or wrong answer here.
