| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? I can see the argument for "directionality" if the condition is not symmetric.Let's say if one end of the cable is subjected to one condition, and the otherend is subjected to different condition, then it's possible that the cablecould be conditio... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? geoffkait,Actually I think knowledge is cheap since it's around us. Beauty costs a lot more. | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? It's odd. I always felt it's the solid state that has a bit of a haze while tubes have better transparency. Maybe some have attributed this "haze" as being laid back and having less of treble present. I always felt that solid state a lot of tim... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? I've learned that nothing and absolutely nothing is free. The costliest thing is beauty and worth every penny, | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? There are too many people with no electrical engineering background saying things that just makes your head spin.It's complicated so don't simply things. Do this simple experiment. If you don't understand the reason behind this experiment then m... | |
| Cable Burn In First, cables are just more than resistance. It has inductance and capacitance as well. But that is not the whole story. The inductance and capacitance are distributive so the rated inductance per foot or capacitance per foot don't tell the who... | |
| Cable Burn In The accusation that "burn - in" is more psychological than real only works for the average buyer since he mostly likely purchase a pair of cables and has rely on his memories to tell the difference when he bought it brand new and now.But this accu... | |
| Audible differences between speaker cables? I found that once a person doesn't believe in cables, it's really a waste of time to convince him or her. | |
| My impression of Pass Lab XP-10 (with respect to Conrad Johnson 17LS) Is Dunlavey still around? There was another manufacturer whose name has a native American origin but I can't quite remember. Thiel now is no longer making time-aligned speakers. There is another in Colorado that I can't seem to remember (it's "... | |
| My impression of Pass Lab XP-10 (with respect to Conrad Johnson 17LS) Sure, can't wait to the my Thiel. For me it's a bit sad that not more manufacturers try to do what he did. | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? You don’t have to be Mark Twain to write these kinds of garbage. Check out some I came up with while writing a stupid program. I’ll do more once I get a my next Mark Twain inspiration. There are two kinds of audiophiles. Those who are tubes... | |
| My impression of Pass Lab XP-10 (with respect to Conrad Johnson 17LS) I haven't heard the Ayre preamp. It appears to be a solid state design. I think the XP10 performance probably represents a point of diminishing return and other parts of the system may represent a bottle neck. I think I've made up my mind my ne... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? No wonder most writers are dead poor. | |
| My impression of Pass Lab XP-10 (with respect to Conrad Johnson 17LS) I was actually trying to look into the ET5 but I couldn't find any available here on Audiogon. It's interesting that the ET5 also uses JFET as the buffer output, so it's not really a purely tube preamp, but more as a hybrid. In that sense, it sh... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? "Cold and technical. Not warm and natural while slightly, but pleasantly, imperfect. "This argument reminds of the argument of amplifier feedback. There are those who believe feedback is better and there are those who believe feedback is worse. ... |
