"Burn in" Are you serious?
Burn-in is not a case of beating your ears into submission. Of course many horrible things can at first be tolerated and eventually even liked (smoking, drinking), but most people who participate at Audiogon have the sense to leave plenty of time ... 
John Lennon
I live near the Dakota, and remember seeing John Lennon walk by, what a cool person he seemed to be. His work and efforts helped me and so many people to move forward in their life that it is worth a moment to remember him with gratitude.

Why do digital cables sound different?
I have a small confession.. I enjoyed choosing the cables in my system. This enabled me to "customize" an otherwise mediocre system, and approach the high end without spending too much money. I know "too much" is relative. My cabling is valued aro... 
Why do digital cables sound different?
1439, I was speaking generally and not personally. It seems to me that some high end companies like VAC and Mark Levinson are adressing a similar issue by manufacturing integrated amps, (no need for pre-amp to amp interconnects) I am sure that one... 
anyone heard sony s9000es
Hi, No money, Yes I did get the Pioneer DV-37. In terms of the marketplace it was difficult deciding to buy it now instead of waiting to see what the DVP-9000ES looked like. I decided that I could wait and see if the SACD format really takes hold ... 
Why do digital cables sound different?
1439, I agree with you as well, but I think there are enough possible explanations available to accept that there are differences between cables, and get on with picking the best one for their system, instead of continuing to deny that reality. 
Why do digital cables sound different?
For some reason all of these explanations are never good enough for some people. This topic inevitably leads to a long debate. Science tries to explain an experience and often falls short. All I need to know is that I tried 5 different coax cables...

Natural sound (REL Subwoofers)
The thin cable that connects to the speaker terminals has no discernable effect. You can also order a custom cable with banana plugs and buy a piggyback type of speaker connector like Monster X-Terminators, but that may draw more upon the amp. Don... 
Best DVD player in $500-$1000 Range
bmc310, Any review giving a preference to the Sony DVP-7000 cannot be taken seriously. Every review ever printed states otherwise. I have owned all of these machines, and guarantee that if you were given a chance to compare all of the DVD players ... 
Rel Sub Woofers..Any Experience
There is a redundancy of threads regarding REL subs. Try www.rel.net , there is a review available of the REL Strata II written by Robert Harley. Do yourself a favor and read it in its entirety. Everything said in that article is absolutely true a... 
Best DVD player in $500-$1000 Range
Chaskelljr, I am really interested in your friends evaluation of the DVP-9000ES and a comparison to the DV-37. Please let me know how that plays out. The Sony has 12 bit technology, instead of 10 bit, I wonder if that will be a factor? Tracer, I j...
