I have not seen these outlandish claims cable manufacturers make. What are you guys talking about? Can someone do me a solid and post some of them.http://www.cardas.com/insights_break_in.php"Cables, cats, pianos and rooms all need to relax in orde... 
Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
I doubt that proving, or disproving, some cable falling apart or sounding one way or another, would undergo the same mechanisms of establishing the conclusion as solving the bank robbery. Highway robbery, on the other hand... 
Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers
skyscraper,Thanks for your trip report. I guess we all felt like we were getting ready for the road trip with you and are now happy when the mission has been accomplished. You are making me want to go and audition Magicos which no review so far ha... 
Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics.

Help ripping a single SACD?
analogluvr,I made DSD files of my SACDs to be able to play them from the server and then through whatever DAC there is instead of through the one in SACD player. Granted, I run the signal exactly through my player’s DAC, but if I ever decide to ch...

milpai,It is a cable thread. What did you expect? 
Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
no2headphones,My curiosity about DACs was actually limited to chips. I first tried just DAC and it brought me to much more but most were regarding DACs as a stand-alone machines or other, basically finished, products.I have no idea how chips work ... 
Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
ganainm,It was not a threat at all. Far from that. It is that on some of these threads people interact with others in a way they would never do in real life. There have been calls for death, suggestions of suicides, etc. Morons, trolls, you name i...
