| breaking in audio components It depends on the equipment. Speakers such as Dynaudio Temptations, Dali Megalines, Kharma Exquisite and Sound Lab Ultimates all go through big changes with break in. Electronics vary by brand and design as do cables. | |

| Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil? Bojack, How does it work out when you play "Bark" by the Jefferson Airplane? | |
| Remastered My Life in the Bush of Ghosts Armstrod, I have the original, did not know about the remastered version. I laugh my head off every time I hear the "Jezebel Spirit" cut. (Very well, you are possessed.)Let me know if you go for the new version and how it sounds. | |
