I will admit that digital has improved over the years and sounds very good compared to 20 years ago. I also enjoy both. 
Oyaide Cables
@celander I purchased my Oyaide power cords from an audio store in Japan and they were already 100% assembled by Oyaide with original paperwork and box, sealed. I sure wish I knew what the paper work said, it's all in Japenese! Almost all of the t...

Bi Wire Cables vs Jumpers?
Regardless if a manufacturer puts bi-wire posts on the speaker it doesn't mean the speaker will sound better bi-wired. It all depends on how it's internally made. I think you need to talk to someone that owns the speaker and has experimented with ...

Personally, I would not recommend either marble or a granite stone slab.Although marble would look good and is somewhat inexpensive it is a poor choice sonically. Marble would be a better choice, also look good, cost more but once again sonically ... 
Conditioning/Burn-In Method
@parabolic, if you are just breaking in interconnects and speaker cables you don't need any volume, just the signal. Are you trying to break in new speakers also?I apologize if I missed something here?Best regards... 
Conditioning/Burn-In Method
