Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
@rldwv  I do apologize for the recent "personal" attacks as you put it.I just got fed up with all the pseudoscience some members publish and it seens its on every discussion thread.  This hurts our hobby and confuses those of us who are not engine...

OMG!I don't think there is a Nobel Prize for pseudoscience and the fact that you would claim to have won a Nobel prize is as crazy as the products you are pedaling.  You do realize that any of us minions can simply query the list of winners??And o...

@geoffkait Please explain to us minions how a particle of light, a photon, can be transferred over copper (or silver for that matter)??   >>>>>>>Try to keep up with the conversation. I do not push my products but I’m always ha...

@geoffkait @hifiman51 A few years ago i replaced my existing cables with some slightly longer ones of the EXACT same brand and gauge. The existing cables had >1000 hours of use the new ones had none and I could NOT hear ANY difference between t...

@geoffkait >>>>Didn’t you get the memo? Maybe you were sleeping. You don’t need to be concerned with any signal travel in the “opposite direction,” only any signal travel toward your speakers, I.e., the correct direction. Follow?This i...

@geoffkait I forgot to ask, please provide us some actual (not from Audioquest) documentation on how wire directionality applies to an AC circuit?   
Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
@geoffkait I was waiting for you to chime in!1. Unplugging a cable destroys the delicate electrical/mechanical connection that took a long time to establish. So, going back and forth between cables proves nothing.So now you are moving the new cabl...

@hifiman5 I did not want to get into the details of how the cables were switched, ie blind or not but since you brought it up.  One of us would switch (or not switch) the cables when the other two were in another room.  When the switch was complet...

This is the biggest list of snake-oil, pseudoscience i have ever seen on this site.  1. Send them off to cryo lab. While many high end cables are cryod by the manufacturer, Cryoing twice is better. Once you get them back from the cryo lab give the... 
Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money
whether its 2k for 1 or 2 does not matter, you are splitting hairs geoffkait.As a FYI i had MIT cables in my system for a while, when i moved up to Maggie 20.7s i decided i did not want that MIT cable wart in the audio stream and replaced them wit... 
Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money
anyone who would spend $2k on a set of bikes wheels is crazy, same goes for the audio bling cable (speaker, interconnect, & power) pricing referenced on this forum.  suggesting that these expensive cables actually make a difference to ANY syst...

+1 for kahlenzBJC Belden 5T00UP 10 AWG Speaker Cable will meet all the requirements we need & they have the best terminations available AND they are NOT expensive. Unfortunately, for some BJC has not discovered some of the voodo science (direc... 
Schiit not shipping
A slightly different issue, it took >3 weeks for Schiit to do the Yggdrasil Analog 2 upgrade, it will finally get back to me next week. 
Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ?
ampzillaOneYou mention "dedicated copper ground rods", are you suggesting these be installed in a separate location?  If so, that would violate code and create a nasty ground loop potential.  Other than that I very much agree with your suggestions...
