Break in time that extends to months or maybe even years!!

Which is better for a DBA (Swarm); powered subs or unpowered?
luisma31 ... their particular claim of "big bass" and "thump thump thump" and "appreciated by bass heads" IMO it is an insult to the DBA, one of the features of the DBA which I appreciate the most is that quite differently from single or dual non... 
Are you a special snowflake?
millercarbon What is it you feel gives you the right to tell others Shut Up!? The moderators here don’t tell anyone to "shut up." They delete posts and threads that are off-topic, attack other members, profane or racist. And that’s about it. For...

ieales ... Sound waves do not interact and sum ...Actually, they can sum, and they can also subtract. Using out-of-phase signals, for example, is how active noise reducing headphones work. Phase is also part of why LF signals can be directional.

Are 500 hours too many for a used hi-end cartridge?
chakster ... i do not believe that stylus with 500 hrs on it can destroy any LP with simple play at correct VTF. The number of hours on a stylus is only one factor to assess. Cartridges that were not properly aligned when new often result in styl...

Which is better for a DBA (Swarm); powered subs or unpowered?
heaudio123Why would I need to make recordings of my own? You don’t have any such need, of course. Nor do you have any need to conduct any valid listening tests. If you prefer, you can continue to vaguely cite the opinions of others, and assert yo...
