Just a thought, but if you want to make sure all 3 sets of cables are warmed up and broken in equally, for test purposes you could daisy-chain all three sets (making one real long pair) and play them this way for a week or so, then separate the pairs and play them individually. Sounds kinda anal, but might tell you what you want to know. Good luck, Dave
swapping IC's to demo and cardas's site sdvice.
i'm in the final stages of my xlr IC comparisons. was reading the cardas site's info and was surprised to find that moving the IC's around could require "more break-in"?.
they don't really specify what degree of movement effects the cables. simple removing the connection or new bends ect....
anyone have any input?. i don't yank and throw my cables around but they do get moved repeatedly during my demos/comparisons. only have one xlr connection so keeping all 3 IC's being compared "warm" is impossible.
am i reading too much into this? or do i need to come up with a plan that takes this into account?. should i be waiting x amount of time after a re-connection to make a determination?.
not a huge deal but i seem much more confident of a decision when my a vs b vs c comparisons are done one right after the other, with minimal time in between.
thanks
