@dopogue, If you want to sell those Clear Day
interconnects
I’d take them off your hands. I actually need 2 pair. 1 pair for the phono to phono preamp and 1 pair for phono preamp to receiver. I find it ironic that the Clear Day interconnects are not shielded and best many a shielded and more costly
interconnect cables. |

geoffkait, when I said that you were always asking for proof you said:
Can you show me an example of what you’re referring to?
So I scrolled up a few posts where you said, and I quote:
Finally, do you have ANY evidence to support either of those statements?
>>>>Exactly what I just got through saying. That is not the same thing as demanding proof of cables, fuses, tweaks, whatever. Besides, all I was asking for in the example you provided is EVIDENCE. That doesn’t seem too much to ask. 😬 I’m not demanding PROOF. You do know the difference, I assume.

Ask yourself this question -- after the "burn in" what physically has changed in that cable?

Geoff, what time do you get UP in the Morning. You post was at 5:01 AM Eastern time???I guess the early bird gets the worm....The change after burn in, the insulation has a charge.
As for cryo and how can you tell? Trust in the person who did it. Plus the problem of what degree Kelvin and how long kept there? Some cryo treatments are way better than others.

I have some very pertinent experience with this issue. My long-time balanced interconnects (Clear Day) on the link between my Oppo/ModWright 105 CD/SACD player and Aesthetix Calypso linestage have served me well without complaint over the last 3-4 years. Great cables.
Recently a bat-eared audiobuddy suggested I try Duelund 20g ICs, also balanced, and since they were reasonably priced ($175), I figured, why not. When first inserted in my system they were awful -- flat, closed-in, meh in every respect. Again, the prescribed break-in (200 hours) sounded incredible to me. Fortunately I have an Audiodharma Cable Cooker to speed the break-in process.
So I gave the Duelunds several days on the cooker and compared them again to the Clear Days. Better, but no cigar. It took more days (I lost count), but eventually the Duelunds won the sonic battle and have now replaced the Clear Days. Note that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the Clear Days and a number of other ICs haven’t come close to the way THEY sound. But the Duelunds are now top dog -- sweet.open, clear, musical --and I haven’t an objective clue as to why. Not really.
One thing sure: The Audiodharma Cable Cooker is an incredible product, as anyone who owns one will likely attest Actual listening and comparing experience.... Who da thunk!..... And at the end of the day you clearly can hear the difference between the Clear Days and Duelunds. Jim |
