Your changes are good and good to hear! I would like to say that in my own system, I made those changes to the benefit of the D5000 before moving going uptown with the D7000. Adding the Wireworld Electra 5* Power Conditioning Cord w/Furutech 24k gold connector for the amp; Music server & DAC; Wireworld Eclipse 6 Interconnects, were indeed wise choices.
But to be clear, I'm expressing a different view of the concept of "Burn-in." And that's "Play-in." Even if an electrical component - one that is use to having current flowing through it - is fully burned in but seldom utilized, it will revert away from that fully burned-in status (regress?). Play-in will resolve this. So, I'm not suggesting that the D5000's were not burned-in until some 1,500 hours later. The point I'm trying to make is many users will never know just how good things can get if they don't give themselves a chance to get there - "Magic Up Ahead..."
There are some members among us who don't believe in the concept of "Burn-in" at all, let alone "Play-in." And I'm so happy for them! Even among those that do, quite a few members own several cans at once. Unless one is "cooking" their cans through the rotation, no one pair of cans will ever be at its best during its moment to shine. Think about how many members with multiple cans, bring in the latest and evaluate whether it stays or goes. Maybe they keep it and sell one from the collection. Either the new can or the one from the collection is likely to have very few hours on them. How can any headphone truly be evaluated with minimum hours played intermittently? Sure, it's done (obviously). But, some might have made their move to sell too soon!
Of course, those are my views, those are my opinions. And I find it exciting to learn of and learn from other's experiences.
