Kandace Springs - Indigo, the long awaited sequel to Soul Eyes
@mental   So happy you are enjoying Melody.  I have everyone of her albums and like each one.  "Worrisome Heart", her debut release is the straightest bluesy jazz of the bunch.  After the sophomore "My One and Only Thrill" her releases get a littl... 
Preamp break-in
The teflon caps will need burn-in time.  Play music through the PV-11 to allow the new capacitors to burn-in.  A fine preamp.  Enjoy! 
Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
@nonoise   +1. Our ears are the ultimate arbiter. 👂🏻👂🏻

Kandace Springs - Indigo, the long awaited sequel to Soul Eyes
@mental  I hope you enjoy her as much as I do.  Kandace and Melody's works have yet to find their way to my music shelves.  I listen to them too often! 
Kandace Springs - Indigo, the long awaited sequel to Soul Eyes

Pieces of music that digital can't get right
@falconquest Your friend might benefit from a higher quality phono amplifier.  High quality units have enough dynamic headroom that the pops and clicks present on some vinyl are minimized. 
Room placement for Vandersteen Treo CT
My Treo CTs are in a 13'6" wide, 18 ' long room.  I tweaked their placement for over a year till I got it just right.  So here goes:  in my room the speakers are 26" from the side walls to the outside of the cabinet measured at the top of the spea...

@azbrd .  I am sorry to hear that you and your friends were unable to hear cable differences.  If you were swapping them in and out of the system, it would be difficult to perceive. As anecdotal testimony from many who post here demonstrates, burn...

@lanceo .   Who is my hero?  If you are referring to Toynbee I don't consider him to be heroic but the quotes you cited are obviously true.   Rome wasn't killed by externals. Their own cultural degradation led to so great a devaluation of humanity...
