| Are 500 hours too many for a used hi-end cartridge? chakster ... if an LP can be destroyed from one play then all those 30-40 y.o. vintage LPs must be unlistenable, but they are better than new reissues. That's the logical fallacy known as the excluded middle. It's certainly true that an LP can ... | |
| Which is better for a DBA (Swarm); powered subs or unpowered? heaudio123 ... you are either lieing about testing people for directionality at 30hz or your speaker had high distortion and there was frequencies well above 30hz ...

| Turntable and Arm Combination in 5K range (maximum) sdrsdrsdr... Reeds don't stand too tall and mount nicest on these low platers of the direct drives without lowering the plinth height.That doesn't make any sense.

| CDP voltage output...what does it mean to volume? marlin38 ... how cool would it be if you could preset the volume on your preamp to different levels by input so you could volume match different sources - does that exist? Oh yes, McIntosh has offered that feature on many of its preamplifiers... | |
| Break in time that extends to months or maybe even years!! daveyfThis isn't a court of law...so your post is a little off, IMHO.Why? Because I question the claim?The claim that the member made was that he heard that the amp in question was still improving after 900 hours, and i am not going to call him... | |
| Break in time that extends to months or maybe even years!! daveyf ... according to our esteemed member, on his review of the product, 900 hours has been reached and he is still hearing advances ...That's just hearsay and the claim is unsubstantiated. Please note that there's a difference between correl... | |
| 10 Audio Cable Myths and Facts andy2I can’t decide whether prof trying to be funny or just trying to be serious. Something initially may be cute, but after awhile it does get tiresome.He is attempting satire, but it is neither amusing or effective. He seems to be amusing himse... | |
| IM Distortion, Speakers and the Death of Science andy2 ... the problem is the equipment required to measure the "breakin-in" phenomenon can be quite expensive that very few cable companies can afford. What equipment is that? | |
