| Do classical CDs made from early analog tapes sound better on your system than new CDs? I don't want to freak anybody out but another variable is absolute polarity, for which there is no (repeat no) standard in the industry. CDs that are in reverse polarity often sound bland, unfocused and bass shy. Ironically, many audiophile record... | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? I find cassettes generally sound very musical, rich and natural. By comparison CD generally sound thin and bland and "uninteresting." Oddly, perhaps, I find cassettes that are digitally remastered sound quite good - very analog and detailed with b... | |
| Does a new cd transport require break-in time? I completely agree. I’ve been saying exactly the same thing for years.

| Better Sound For Free! That’s what I’d like to know about it. 😀 For the record, for a while I used a very powerful adjustable white strobe light on CDs. Rather effective if I don’t say so myself. In fact, now that I think about it, I sell a relatively low power multi-co... | |

| Opening a can of worms kosst_amojan@lalitk Are you blind or just stupid? Here’s exactly what I posted just 2 hours ago..."Just so we’re clear, cables do sound very, very slightly different, they do NOT burn in, and you CAN measure them. Anyone saying different is just l... | |
| Let's talk power cords RE UK cable dealer fraud case. Turns out it was just the usual audiophile goat rope in which the very well known audio dealer Russ Andrews was accused by some magazine of "hyping" some audiophile cables that were claimed to arrest RFI/EMI. As far ... | |
| PADIS vs Furutech fuses Innocent question: if break in of cables is related to the dielectric materia, not the metal conductor, then why is break in for fuses necessary? You know, since there is no dielectric. Am I missing something? | |
