| Does Power Cord Require Burn-In To Sound Good? I’m a believer in PC burn-in because I can hear the changes. I’m not going to debate in yet another cable break-in thread, I'm only giving an opinion. I use two different brands of power cables in my system, one inexpensive, the other rather price... | |
| Sorry, it’s not me, it’s you? I was disappointed with a preamp from the beginning. I gave it time to break-in, I rolled the tubes, but it didn't present the sound I was looking for. I wasn’t quite sure about it when listening at the audio shop but I bought it anyway. I sold it... | |
| Okay, How Important Is Speaker Break In? (Dynaudio Contour 60i) I’m surprised your dealer didn’t mention break-in. Speakers need dynamic music or a break-in disc played through them. They are one of the components where break-in is truly necessary. The drivers, especially the woofers are stiff right out of the... | |

| Will a tube amp work well on Revel f208? The Stereophile review states that a tube amp with good current via the 4ohm tap is needed. Much of the impedance curve is low but the phase angle is good and will help offset the dips in impedance.https://www.stereophile.com/content/revel-perform... | |
| Ethernet cables I was going to upgrade the router to a LPS as discussed above, but I just installed a Brickwall surge/conditioner on the router. The result is an outstanding reduction of noise. It's almost like a component upgrade; faster attack, more defined le... | |
