Cable burn in
@jasonbourne52  I generally agree with your opinion re cables.  My current system runs Morrow interconnects preamp to amps, and Fidelium speaker cables.  I recently purchased some Furutech knock offs.  The construction was very good.  Installed th...

+1 for AudioLab 6000 CDT. One of the best players I’ve owned at any price.

Shipping 80lb amps.

Most underrated female recording artists..

HOW TO CHOOSE A SPEAKER CABLE?
@akg_ca Then how do you explain the great sound I get from my Fidelium ribbon cables from Silversmith? Also, and I’m far from an expert in electronics, but my understanding is that an electrical charge/signal, travel on the outside of a wire, not...
