How much does volume matter when breaking in amps and cables?
Geoffkait, I would measure input and output impedances along with distortion values and rise time. But if there was no change the mythologists would just say the wrong stuff was measured. I would love to get a serum porcelain level on them.

millercarbon there is a huge difference between mechanical devices and electronic devices. Undoubtedly, electronic equipment drifts slowly overtime as some component values shift with recurrent heat cycles although I have never seen objective evid...

millercarbon the radiologists when doing a barium GI study call it FOS.Blaming me for not knowing what you are talking about will not change the reality of the issue. All of you reverse the wiring of one of your sub woofers and tell us what you he...

Tim, sorry I did not get back earlier. I can not believe people are so far off on the subject of time and phase. Time and phase are intimately related. wire two of your subs backwards and see what you get. That is 180 degrees out of phase. You get...

stani, I think the recommendation for a high quality small monitors on stands is perfect for you just add two 10" sub woofers. The Rogers LS/35A is perfect. Cross to the subs at 125 Hz and put the subs right in the corners with the monitors 3 feet...

Ozzy, Purely anecdotal. cbrents, I worked in three dealers selling very high end stuff and for the most part we treated our customers like children. Which does not mean we didn't bend over backwards for them just that our explanations to smooth ov...

Oh, which means in geoffkait's case I have no explanation. 
How much does volume matter when breaking in amps and cables?
Absolutely none at all. Zarathu is right. There may be some speakers that loosen up in the bass after a few hours but that is about it. This myth got started by dealers telling their customer who were not sure that they liked a new piece of equipm...
