| Most achingly-beautiful music Frank, I think you have a point with K's first Beethoven cycle, have you heard Abado's cycle, also on DGG? The rendering is exiting, though alas typical of DDG's worst! | |
| The worst sound system Curse, course or cursed Pm? | |

| loose tubes Actually, come to think of it, I think I prefer loose women to loose tubes and with those you'd hardly need sandpaper and sometimes not even sheets and here you certainly will notice the difference. Does that make me a bad audiophile?!!! | |
| Why do cables need break-in? True, Dekay true, LOL, treat 'em like you would a big bad bronco and ride them real hard ( Put a Kinky Freedman CD on replay for 10 days or so ) apologies Pendragn, still off topic.. | |
