| McCormack DNA 125 amp-speaker match hooters85@yahoo.comPerhaps you listened to Dyns not broken in? I don't have experience with those models you listed. They are not in the Countour line. I have found the 3.4s and 1.8 mkII's to be very smooth with mccormack amps, arc tube preamps, a... | |

| Do Cables Wear Out? Guidocorona,That was good. I think you need a Machina Dynamica (AKA timex watch with an orange sticker on it) lcd watch to stick on your chest of drawers thingy and just step back and watch the tarnish dissapper as the mysterious device reverses e... | |
| Do Cables Wear Out? I don't know about wear out, but they can tarnish, even within the teflon (or other) sheath. I have personally witnessed this with kimber 8tc. The copper was tarnished through and through. It was a curious result. That will change the electrical p... | |
