You guys are just so full of information. I LOVE it!   
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Oh boy. Just picked up two Joe Henderson LPs. “Page one and live at the Village Vanguard” the weekend will start with these two. Where I go from there...we will see.

P.S. I think the moral of the story (for me at least) is to play your system often and regularly if possible for best SQ. Something we don't think about often but it makes sense.

@dave_b So Just got off the phone with Richard Vandersteen. Had a nice chat. So you are correct the DBS system is to keep the dielectric formed in the cable essentially keeping it burned in once it has completed its initial burn in. Which is why y...

@dave_b  👍🏼  I’m loving mine everyday. Just ordered two more pair to complete the path. The first ones I got to go between the TT and the phono pre. Adding another pair from the phono pre to the main pre, and from the main pre to the mono blocks.

@elizabeth regarding the Neti pot. Do they really work? I have been tempted to get one but not sure I would like the sensation of water moving through my nose like that. I have sinus problems and if it works it might be a good thing for me.

@ianrodger Not hard. At least for me anyway. I barely blow. Pinch your nose and lightly try to blow through your nose. It’s not that big a deal. Same as equalizing the pressure when flying. Chewing gum does help I would imagine. Drinking something...
