Phono pre "Break-In" process? Necessary?
It's been my experience that amplifier designers are the most educated, clever and talented audiophiles in the business.  Don't believe me?  Just ask them.  I'm more of a Zag Nut guy myself.

The following are Roger Modjeski quotes from that bastion of audiophile wisdom, Audio Circle.  Roger Modjeski wrote,"Perhaps you are recalling my post about burn-in where I questioned: If burn in is real, how come it wasn't discovered in the 1950s...

Synergistic Red Fuse ...
I have one word.  Wire (fuse)  directionality.  
Why do all audio forums on the internet seem "dead" ?
Actually since there are relatively few new audiophiles, you know, what with the Walkman, iPod, iPad and iPhone generation and given the lack of interest and or means to pursue an (increasingly) expensive hobby in the midst of a raging recession/d... 
I think I've Just Seen Absolute Proof That Audiophiles Are Insanely Gullible
I design and sell a clock that is, while still a clock, totally unlike the Tice Clock in terms of operation, though obviously also rather outlandish - the Clever Little Clock, now in it’s third incarnation. Would you believe the CLC received a Bru...

Not to beat a dead horse but HiFi Tuning has been around longer than dirt and as far as I know is the only aftermarket fuse manufacturer to have their fuses tested by a third party and actually publish those test results on their web site. The tes...

Phono pre "Break-In" process? Necessary?
The flagship Duelund capacitors that everyone is raving about are notorious for long break-in times, as much as 500 or 600 hours, so they say. Of course it’s always possible that some sort of group hypnosis is going on. ;-)One High Fidelity Cables... 
Do glass shelves affect sound Quality?
The Mana employs glass shelves and the more shelves the better the sound. There is some guy somewhere with an 8 shelf Mana. Say, isn’t glass a liquid? 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
There have been failures of electronics due to aftermarket fuses? When, where, who, how? Gee, you’d think it would be all over the boards. Are audiophile houses burning down even as we speak? Rome burned while Nero fiddled with his fuses. All I se...
