| Wow .... €50K Headphones ... What next One can't help wondering, shouldn't the headphone cable be replaced with a high end cable of some sort, you know, a pure silver cryogenically treated and machine broken in cable? The Artisan cable springs to mind.... | |
| Acoustic panels - how high? Like almost all room acoustic treatments let your ears be your guide. Since it is almost completely unpredictable how a particular room will interact with X brand speakers unfortunately the only way to achieve optimum or even good results with pan... | |
| Favorite CD treatment Products I kind of doubt they examined the CDs they treated during the review. Why would they? Who would have thought the micro fiber cloth would scratch a freakin CD? Hel-looo! | |
| Favorite CD treatment Products Yes, I always make sure there is no sand or dirt or small boulders in the liquid or on the CDs. I also never ever treat the CDs during a sandstorm or mudslides or typhoons.;-) | |

| Cable Cooking/Burnin Yping, that's a big 10-4. By extension, ALL wire should be broken in, all transformers, all capacitors, all resistors, all connectors, all fuses, in short, EVERYTHING. | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? Coffee, with milk. Sumatra, Kenya AA, Costa Rica, Guadamala, whatever. | |
| Favorite CD treatment Products One must be very careful of the cloths supplied as they might scratch the CDs. Someone dropped the ball on this one. This is very very unfortunate as I alerted my dealer some time ago about this issue. In any case, stop using their cloths and swit... | |
| Cable Cooking/Burnin Yes, cotton and foam DC is higher than air. The foam or cotton are barely touching the conductor. And cotton and foam are guess what? Mostly air! Hel-loo! Air sounds the best, you can trust me. This is a case where what measures best actually soun... | |
