I have decided to be a all out denier on Tuesdays and Thursdays. A believer in everything anyone says on Wednesdays and Fridays. "Who cares" on Mondays and Saturdays, Reserving Sundays for actually thinking for myself, in any way at all. 
The Carver Amp Challenge and the 21st Century and it's Failure

I have no need to make a lot of effort to 'maybe' make it sound better. Knowing MY grass is GREEN ENOUGH.. I do not need to chase some other grass, 'because it could be better' Yeah and it could be a worthless money pit. (Been there done that) Kno... 
Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period.
Not true. At least two.. How long have you (Geoff) been using the no wires no cords audio system you now are using? fifteen minutes? Two hours? Do you swap out?? what?

Sadly Geoff, sometimes, a few of us actually stop changing anything. For months!!! Even years!!!! Seems impossible, but true.   
Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period.
To get back to "listening for 500 hours'.. well YEAH, if you plug in the cable and press play... I would think playing them to break them in is 'listening to the for 500 hours of break in'. For my recent experience the worst was the near endless b...
