what I don't understand is, why aren't more people into high-end audio? Puzzling. |
How does one know when the equipment is finished breaking in? What keeps it from breaking in forever? Why don't owners manuals address this? Why am I even here, I could be somewhere doing something more important like breathing, aging or blinking my eyes. |
"I waste my time here because i am retired and do not have any life outside of listening to music all day long.
I have my nice place, a great stereo system thousands of recordings, a good car, nice pets, decent food, places to go find used music Cd and LP.. and enough money coming in to be satisfied."
Well, your candor makes me feel better. I am in the same situation, except Amazon is my only source for music, and I do the gym everyday. Happy Listening. |
This CD is good for whatever ails your system. Highly recommended.

I think we should think about the implications of all this 'hearing a difference'. Taken to it's logical(sorry) conculsion, it means that EVERY component on planet earth has a unique sound, and that sound can be heard by 'audiophiles'. This means that since no two components will measure the same, even two off the same assembly line, then they all sound different. Even the two channels on a stereo amp sound different. The two monoblocks, sound different. Throw in the wire and cords and CD players and all of the other tweaks / stuff, even racks!!!, and then consider all the possible combinations. So what does it all mean? |

hahah you are preaching to the choir. |
'Let's stay within reason.'
hahahahahahah you mean just regular run of the mill silly, not extreme cutting edge silly? |
"but they still needed a couple of weeks to reach their ultimate performance. The PCs weren't burned in and I expected them to reach their performance plateau in a day or two"
And just how will you know when that plateau is reached? Do you have to wait until there is no more evidence of break in happening and at that time declare them broken in? |
'Right, that's what I mean.'
Then in the future, I will try to stay within the bounds of what is considered an acceptable level of silliness in polite high-end society. |
It is interesting that you have brought the entire planet into this discussion. Just the other day it was annouced that the folks at NASA have discovered a super massive black hole with a diameter seven times the distance of pluto's orbit from the sun. And this thing just roams around the galaxy gobbling up stuff. After learning that, everything seems just a little more silly. I hope these golden ears people will hear it coming if it heads this way. At that time I will order the Pass Labs and Wilsons. |
Tom6897:
Excellent questions. Get in line. Hopefully the oracles will speak soon. |
"Entertainment Channel?"
Actually Yes. On this forum, it is called 'CABLES'
You are in the right place. |
"The Cops are ready to haul them off to the slammer..."
They better bring lunch, some of those cables are known for their great resistance. |
"Finally, it started to sound like I remember it."
That's audiophile speak for: I got used to the sound again.
"So, there are a lot of things that we may overlook, that can change the sound. Even those new cables may brush against our clothes, and get a static charge on them, while changing them."
Let's not forget those solar winds and the gravitational pull of Jupiter. |
