The concept of burn in is always fairly controversial, of some things more than others. But one component in the system chain that most people seem to acknowledge as requiring burn-in is capacitors, in particular certain types of boutique capacitors such as Black Gates, V-Caps, and so forth.
The disputes tend to arise as to exactly how long capacitors take to form their dialectric and be "burned in". Is there a relationship between burn-in length and the amount of capacitance in any given cap? Do different types of capacitors form their dialectric at different rates - such as electrolytic, ceramic, paper-foil-in-oil, and so on?
