Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
@lanceo and @azbrd   Living in the Post Modern World is gonna challenge you guys to your core.  Good luck with that! 
Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
@azbrd   Have you ever installed new cables in a system and listened over a few weeks as the sound opens up with more dynamic swing?  Regarding not using any type of contact enhancer, you might reference the Perfect Path Technologies "Total Contac... 
Two Against Nature-What is your reference recording?
Love DSOTM especially the 180 gram LP, but...the Analogue Productions SACD of "Wish You Were Here" is the best sounding recording and needless to say transcendent music.  Costly disc but worth every blessed penny.

@wolf_garcia   You will be right at home in Post Modern America!😬 
Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
@grannyring   When you had the E-Mat inside the electrical service, did it cover about half of the surface area of the service?  When I had only one Mat to start, I placed it, using the magnet, to the inside of the TOP of the service door so the M...

another what speaker cable for vandersteen
@gdnrbob  +1Audioquest cables are almost always a safe bet with Vandersteens.  I have not found Kimber and Vandys to play nicely together in the past.

Tekton Double Impact vs. Vandersteen 2ce sig II
I have had Vandersteen's for over 30 years, starting with the original 2C, working through the model 3s and now the Treo CT.  The only model that was at all grating was the original model 3 as the new metal dome tweeter was too hot.  Richard V. to... 
Tekton Double Impact vs. Vandersteen 2ce sig II
OP - My Vandersteen journey began with the original 2C and just as you stated it is very musical.  If you like the Vandersteen sound I would recommend you stay the course and upgrade to the 2Ce Sig II.  New if possible as Richard V. continually up... 
Audioquest Red River vs. Big Sur interconnects
I have owned many of the different generations of AQ interconnects over the last few decades. The two big qualities are the conductor quality and dielectric type. Go for PSC+ over PSC. The difference is clarity and smoothness of texture. If at all...
