| audio aero prima cdp... burn in. Thanks Boa. As far as burn in, will unplugging the ic`s and just letting the cdp run 24/7 on repeat do the trick or does it need to pass a signal to be truly effective? | |

| Sound ideas..... You also might want to check out Michael Greene`s (room tunes) website. Go to the talk forums. There are some people over there that have their stuff together when it comes to acoustics and room tuning. In fact, I signed up to be a member. | |
| Best spot for my rack. I`m fairly new at this, but I`m having 11` speaker cables made so that nothing will be between the speakers. My rack will sit in the corner of a 14` wide room. It makes sense to me that this effort will help produce a more realistic sound stage. I... | |
