Pure Note Cerulean

Sonic - I know you are very familiar with pure note and are now using cerulean. I sent Tom a question about cookers and haven't heard back yet. I am thinking about giving them about 24 hours of treatment instead of waiting 100+ hours to hear difference. My transparents are well broken in and am not sure how long it will take to hear tonality. Would like your advice.

I have not found the AH cooker to speed up time on cables. Some will argue the current is too high for interconnects. I no longer use one. I just listen to my discs and enjoy better sound over time as the cables burn-in.

I am about 100 hours into the recommended 150 hour burn in. Using 3 pairs of Ceruleans: phono from CD to Krell KRC-HR, balanced from pre to Krell KSA-250 and speaker cables to Thiel 2.3's.

There was an astonishing breakthough at around the 50 hour mark. Gotta admit - I'm a bit of a skeptic on some of this audiophile voodoo - but I think my cat could even hear the difference - it was very dramatic.

Tom (at PureNote) spent over an hour on the phone with me discussing the cables and things in general. Can't say enough about the company and the product. Good people, good stuff!

JT: What brand of cables were you using before the Ceruleans?

SonicG:

To the best of my recollection - they were somewhere between a wire coat hanger or some leftover guy wire from the phone company. I am only slightly kidding.

Being a very patient (or terribly anal) person - I had run the Thiels for over a year on a Yamaha receiver and plain ole 12 ga. CL2 jacketed cable while I researched my move to "the other side". I picked up the 2 Krell pieces on AG and (with several recommendations from Goners') talked to Tom at Pure Note. This is really my first attempt at putting together what I hope is a pleasurable system. So far the result of the Krell power on the somewhat power hungry Thiels and the crystal clear cables has been amazing. It seems to be just slightly crisp (I can't quite say harsh) in the mids. But again, this has all come together in just the past 3 weeks or so. I still have a lot of placement and room tweeking to experiment with before I draw too many conclusions. So yeah, I'm just beginning the journey. It sounds like it will be a rush.
