Wine shock / Solid State Burn In

[qdtjni]

Expert or not, the most occurring problems with wine is that is it corked.

I've seen that fairly often but am yet to experience a wine turn to vinegar.
That is, unless you left an open bottle for quire some time.

I, Seth, being a certified expert of neither wine nor hi-fi, have solved BOTH problems.

If you are worried about the wine being shocked, make sure it's properly grounded before drinking. Pour gently, with a very very steady hand completely isolated from all vibrations, air movement, sound waves, solar radiation, magnetic or electronic interference. And use a very very very expensive crystal glass.

If you are worried about the audio equipment not having time to burn in, make sure it's properly moist before you plug it in. Most gear should be soaked overnight in a tub filled with distilled water. Make sure you moisten all connections with a damp sponge, and then dry in a moderately hot oven for 2 hours.

Barring this, for those who suffer from particularly extreme, terrible cases of audiophile-itis or wine-snob syndrome, there is a solution of last resort: don't ever drink the wine, don't ever take that monoblock amp out of the box. Ever. This has seen proven results in past cases. Some of those severely afflicted patients have even gone on to live functional lives and been able to return to drinking, although only very cheap wines (such as those by Sutter Home, or anything that comes in a jug or box). Some have also begun to enjoy small amounts of music as well,  although carefully monitored by a medical professional, and using sounds from inexpensive things like a little Crosley turntable or a PylePro PA system, or anything Fisher-Price.
