| Shootout of four earphones and a headphone Are you insane? I just got through burning it in for 240 + hours. | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? Calm down, Glumpy. They’re all isolation devices and they all touch. Springs, roller bearings, bungee cords, air springs, inner tubes, magnetic levitation, the giant slip plates under the new Apple 🍏 HQ building, you know, the one that’s a mile ar... | |

| Shootout of four earphones and a headphone Oh, didn’t I thank you? 😳 | |
| Shootout of four earphones and a headphone Finally! After more than 240 hours of burn in, including more than 5 straight days (how time flies!) using the burn in track of the XLO Test CD, the thin, tinny, distorted and bass shy sound disappeared. Well, almost all of it. There still isn’t m... | |

| Synergestic Black Fuse vs Audio Magic BeesWax As I’ve oft noted amplifier manufacturers, for whatever reason, appear to be far behind the power curve. Gee, everyone and his brother uses aftermarket fuses. I bet Mr. Pass is behind the power curve for wire directionality and power cords, too. Y... | |
| Theoretical question about how CD's work kosst_amojanFolks, I don’t think anything more needs to be said after Geoff’s last post. How can you possibly top that list of ridiculous snake oil solutions to problems nobody has ever had? And who cares how round the edge of the CD is? That does... | |
| Reasonable high end interconnects: without breaking the bank tobor007Correct! If you blind test and fail to hear the difference in a between a $15 cable and a $300 cable you must throw the evidence out. What will be attacked next? Perhaps walnut speaker wire elevators? Special on eBay now. 8 elevators for &... | |
