@czarivey not hardly unless you speed up the process like I’m doing. It’s no way I could put 400 hours of play on a phono cable in 60 days with normal play.

@dorkwad hi Bob. Intersting handle lol. I am going to try to finish Doug’s article today. It’s an interesting concept but I have to admit I am a little Leary to try solutions on my system that come with warnings. If I do decide to try it, it would...
