Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period.
@prof - "Maybe you can tell me what is happening inside during the 300 hours?" Here’s one possibility, for you to ignore, again: Regarding burn-in time for cables: I’ve always held(yeah: my opinion) that part of it was attributable to the fact tha... 
One Amp To ‘Rule’ Them All....
"The notion of a one size fits all in any respect is more fantasy than honesty."    EXACTLY and why the OP would equally as well served, if searching Mordor, for that beloved, "One Ring to rule them all".

@shkong-  What length is that Blackcat?

I wouldn’t bother bi-wiring, but- if you do, refer to the site posted by adg101, and carefully read the first and second lines under the heading, "The Does and Don’ts of Bi-Wiring ".   Spending what you would on a bi-wire pair of Oval 9s, on an im...

I once owned a California Audio Labs Delta CD transport, with both their Sigma and Alpha DACs. Given they were to sit side by side(Delta/DAC) I thought a .5M Kimber Orchid would be a good AES/EBU to try. Couldn’t listen to it, regardless of time i...

@michaelgreenaudio- "What if you drove to the next HEA trade show and instead of walking into rooms where everything sounded different and there was only a volume control to adjust, you instead walked into rooms where you could sit down and make e...

I wouldn't hesitate to use either, but(if I were you)- I'd be strongly attracted to the Ovals.   I've got Kimber 8TC, going to my actively bi-amped woofers and Big Silver Ovals, going to my main speakers.    I've been very happy with both.   I had...

@brettmcee-  "Giant tube-based amps are generally not to be found it professional settings." and, "You are more likely to find......solid state amps in recording/mixing/mastering environments." I beg your pardon? In what, "professional setting" w...

Does my amp have enough juice to power my speakers?

One Amp To ‘Rule’ Them All....
A chameleon amplifier that could morph any system and room combo, into something that pleases every taste/preference, in music/presentation? Imagine all that!  Once someone like Lyngdorf, manages to meld FFT/DSP with EEG, maybe. 
What's the reasoning behind replacing older capacitors?
Should you decide to indulge, HAVE FUN!  Happy listening.

One of these days, it’s virtually assured, DNA will be universally used for ID purposes. I think it’s hilarious, that so many are signing up and actually paying others, to catalog their DNA profiles, family histories and backgrounds, when identity...
