For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc.
OK:Good to know when I read your future posts as this has always been in the back of my mind when reading your past ones.I do smoke tobacco in moderation (always outdoors) and the cables left a really bad smell in my memory.DeKay 
For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc.
Are you the guy who sent me beta test cables (Vantage Audio/UK) years ago that smelled so strongly of tobacco smoke that I had to store them in one of our unused cars until I could properly deodorize them?They were shipped from Illinois (maybe Chi... 
Had an epiphany, what would happen when all of you die?
As per my current Will and Testament Keith Richards stands to inherit the main Hifi rig (my wife prefers the less complicated mini system).DeKay

I watched the WoS being setup once and there were 3 tall/huge McIntosh tube amplifiers positioned center stage.Two were close together (same cabinet I think) and the other was maybe 4'-5' away.Not a clue as to what they were powering.I attended th... 
wooden tonearm. cld diy
If this is for personal use why not run the wires on the outside of the tonearm (experiment with different wire and wire surrounds - cotten, et cetera)?I you are really clever/simple then a few well chosen twists of the wire (below the arm's pivot... 
If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see?

Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed!
Wow!!!"The crutchfield resident tt expert I talked to said this amount of wobble is "normal" with these tables. Which means if I exchange it, there is no guarantee of receiving a table with no visible wobble. Or if I send it to the factory, they w...

tablejockey:Good thinking...After all - Mr. Peabody and Sherman did pay a visit to Beethoven.Suitable clothing (wardrobe) would take a bit of doing, but it is doable.DeKay

How do I play YouTube music from my IMac thru my Conrad-Johnson amps?
Duug:Here is a blurb on USB (long) cable length.https://www.yourcablestore.com/USB-Cable-Length-Limitations-And-How-To-Break-Them_ep_42-1.html#activ...Looks like you have multiple options.DeKay 
If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see?
In order that we be responsible audiophiles I suggest that we only time travel back to concerts that we DID NOT attend (in order to maintain time/space continuity).This said, I would like to attend good concerts by artists that I never saw live.Th...
