Do we break in our componets or do our componets ?
Hughes 12:Welcome to the break-in wars. All our products are broken-in before sale or demo; you now have an insight to the problem. An unbroken-in piece of wire smaller than one inch will throw a system into a tail spin. Any solder joint that has ... 
Cables - When Did it All Start?

Cable break-in
Simon: It is more like 330 hrs. Yes the break-in time is about the same.Volume should be at normal listening levels. 
Monster Power conditioners. Anyone using one?
Slappy:Systems with low resolution will APPEAR to produce a cleaner signal with a line conditioner. Remember,” when you drain the swamp you expose the alligators”. ANY device on the supply side of the electronics must face the full wrath of the li...

Audio Diversity - What is it?
Addendum:When a MAJOR performance gap is created between one product and the status quo we have found that debate ceases to exist; i.e. how many people this year will be purchasing black and white televisions as compared to color?

Agreement has a great deal to do with execution. There are many things in our lives that most of us enjoy and maybe even treasure, this is usually due to excellence of the object or product we are experiencing. Audio is far from a perfected endeav... 
tube traps didn't help
Slap echo can easly be controlled with decorative carpets,Home Depot would be one source; be careful not to over do it.There is a power cord that will take care of your bass problems,see [Which cables go with what] in this section. 
Which cables go with what?????
Audioengr initiated a topic that needed discussion. 
Which cables go with what?????
Flex:The power cord; because it is on the supply side of the power supply is the only device that must endure the entire workload of the system. For this reason they also create/produce their own brand of distortion when not designed effectively. ...
