Out of phase breaking in, Anywone ever hear of it?
I don't think there's really any theory at all except to play your speakers hard. The out-of-phase thing is simply to minimize SPL during break-in, making the process more tolerable in normal living situations and, consequently, allowing you to pl...

I use this technique regularly. Works great. It makes me wish for a preamp with an old fashioned Mono switch, though. 
Implications of Esoteric G-0Rb atomic clock
I'm having a little trouble following this, but I wonder if "frequency accuracy" is not being used in the same way by all of the posters above. Just to be clear, we are not talking about audio frequency response, at least as I understand what RH i... 
Implications of Esoteric G-0Rb atomic clock
>I read some of the article but the price of the trio left me speechless.Sure, but that's sort of beside the point. The technology, if worthwhile, should trickle down. What's important, I think, is what this product tells us about the problems ...

I really like this cord, too. Just ordered two more. 
The most important link in the chain...
"Only as stong as the weakest link" is absolute rubbish. It's true of a chain, but your stereo is NOT a chain, it is a system. No matter how weak that weakest link, the overall "strength" of the system can always be improved with upgrades elsewher... 
APL NWO-2.5T A Review of a Classic CD Player
I won't run it for more than 12 hours max, then let it go cold before running again. I've always done 24x7 operation when breaking in CDPs and downstream components, and have never had a failure with a transport or CD player I have owned. Are you ... 
How Much Have You Lost Thru' The Upgrade Process?
I look at the loss as the amount I spend on my hobby, in which case it's not a "loss" at all. I tell myself, what if I were into boats or golf or some other pricey hobby.

Just curious, what do people mean when they say "dry"?
