Frap, I've evened you out, though I prefer her "Blue" to Hejira. But that album got me on to her and I'll dig it out and listen to it tonight. Thanks for reminding me of its existence. Cheers |
Kevin: I have "Jingle Cats" if you would like to borrow it for your test. The five "little men" have not been good lately and they will not be needing it. |
Dekay: I may need more music as my first test have been inconclusive. With the expensive cables he starts with a growl. Sort of a low grrrrr from his chest. Both ears are fully perked and then he gives a quick yap. With the Walmart brand he goes straight to yapping.... I'm not sure how to interpret these results. If there are any animal behavior specialist reading please email me to help me unravel these results. |
Frap: Don't worry about your rating. I just looked at mine for the first time and I have a -10!!! I just don't understand what I've said that is so offensive. |
Kev, there are at least TWO psychiatrists amongst us. Maybe they could recommend a suitable canine colleague. You must move fast: your dog's residual audio memory surely has its limits.
Sean, sorry: pls excuse this departure from seriousness.
Cheers, Greg. |
Detlof, where would this site be without you? Thank you for your, as usual, kindness.
Regarding JM, I admit "Blue" as well as "Ladies of the Canyon" and "For the Roses" were the great works of her early folk years, but the middle period that included "Court & Spark" ," Hissing of Summer Lawns"(WOW!!), and "Hejira", she seemed to reinvent herself so to speak. Talk about music that stood the test of time, this was it. "Hejira" though, is rather incredible IN MY OPINION>.........Sorry , I know this has nothing to do with cables....Frank |
Kev, so how's Max doing after all the tests? |
hey 702, *relax* man, it's a *yoke*! as i said before: "sorry, couldn't resist." seriously, tho, other than knowing ewe have contributed to the music scene, but knowing *nothing* about your tastes in music *or* equipment, my *yoke* has yust as much chance at being close to the truth as anyting else, for all i know... regards, doug s. |
Kevin: I'll ship "Jingle" to you along with my HTS2000 (after I totally screw it up trying to add a male IEC plug and upgrade the sockets:-). On another note: I have been burning in a power cord by running my computer with it. Is this doing a good job or is it a lame way to do it? I ran out of audio gear to run some new cords in on (and now have two pieces in the shop). |
Frank, cables -shnabels- you're right, listening to Hejira again--after many years- was quite an experience. Thanks for reminding me.
Regards, |
Has anyone ever tried to record the "breaking in " ? I have had new cables change sound dramatically, after so many hours of playing music . I do not know why,,,but I have noticed it . More with some cables that others. It would seem that there would be a way to record it . Just a thought,,, |
Record it to what end Ray? To prove that the break -in phenomenon exists? |
I dunno. I had all my power cords and interconnects burned in on the AudioDharma Cable Cooker and cryo'd as soon as I bought them so I never got a chance to A/B the things. |
|
Detlof,Question was simple enough.I do not have any interest in proving anything.I have heard drastic changes and wondered if anyone has tried to capture this on a recording. |
|
Ray, thanks, I understand. The phenomenon is real enough. |
2016 and still burning man! No voodoo here. |
It is real! Happy Listening! |
I am somewhat open minded to burning in cables,but when a manufactuer tells you 100hrs or more i begin to wonder about that. Where i hear a difference is more in different type of manufactuers of interconnects after some burn in time. I use only different types of copper interconnects in my system solid core or twisted,braided ics. I have used gold,silver copper combination ics and found them more bright sounding overall IMO. But i like a warm sounding system anyways. When useing a horn loaded speaker. |
