| Here's a fire starter: Analog is as good as SACD Update:I upgraded to a Musical Surroundings Phonomena II.

| Suggestion on XLR Cables @gdhal and @muses,I miswrote in my previous post. My Belden/Neutric cables are actually Gotham PUR/Amphenol. I plan on doing a closer comparison with the Zus in the near future. Zu always recommends 250 to 400 hours to burn in the dielectric on n... | |

| Opening a can of worms If it takes 400 hours to burn in a cable, shouldn't the risk free return period be 3 years? And how/when would I compare it to a cable that requires no or very little burn in.The second question is dead serious. | |

| Long lost songs I picked up a mint copy of the Left Banke's first album, Walk Away Renee/Pretty Ballerina at a craft fair. | |
| Another soundstage question @wolf_garcia , I got the joke and appreciated it.@kosst_amojan, 'A mic that's low will make something seem high...'What a revelation! Of course that would be true. As long as my soundstage has a nice vertical field, I'll accept the centering of th... | |
| Mid grade Integrated amp choices I was committed to the Belles Soloist until I heard a Primare I32. The new I35 is reported to be audibly better. |
