break-in--bane or boon ??
I would love to have someone do a a/b test between factory cables and burned in cables with me. I'm dying to hear this change in the presence of someone who's experienced it. I will not deny it but I'm sure its system dependant. 
Friday Night in San Francisco
I just got mine in the mail. My wife used to have the album. Her fathers big into DiMeola. Hopefully I can listen to it this weekend. 
Forgiving, musical speaker....
The Harbeth Compact 7 is what I have and its as forgiving as you could ever imagine. Simple to set up with the right stands. Doesn't matter what cables you use for the most part. Almost any amplification mates well. If you just want to listen to y... 
break-in--bane or boon ??
I'm sure I'm wrong. I realize now that my feelings towards cable break in stem from my unresolving systems. Ive never enjoyed revealing gear because I don't like to fiddle around that much with gear. I'm more into enjoying music than constantly re...

NYC new LPs store ?
I did the trip home from NYC in 4 1/2 hours one time but I was in a Cadillac and I was driving like I was going out for good sushi. Amtrac takes almost 8 hours because they stop in Albany (and Amtrac is as slow as a freight train). 
NYC new LPs store ?
Albert is correct about the Bop Shop, but Rochester is 5 hours North West of NYC (I live there). If you do ever make it up here, we have a ton of amazing record stores for a city of our size. For work, I travel to every major city in the U.S. for ...

Belles vs Naim amplifier, which one to choose?
I'm not sure but ive read a lot about Naim over the years and never read anything too aweful about them. I'm sure you'll get some replies. If not post this question on whathifi. Lots of Naim users in the U.K. If you're located in the U.S. check ou... 
I have a Phase Technology 5T - what are they worth
I'm sorry but a simple online search indicates the Phase Tech 5 T is worth the cost of shipping. I would kindly hand those on to the next generation. The towers in good condition sell for $75.

Cable break in is non existant. Other parts do break in but cable do not. 
From integrated to components
One more thing. Although the cdp was slot loading I liked it very much. That was one thing they got right. 
From integrated to components
One quick story. I bought B&W CM7's with brand new top of the line Rotel separates about 3 Years ago. It was the best amp, preamplifier and cdp Rotel was selling at that time. The set up sounded horrible. I figured it was break in and the spea...
