Can an unused cable break in?
It is far from clear from your writing but it seems to me that what improved was the transport. We just can’t tell. For example, you’re asking if it improved while unused- while at the same time saying it was plugged in. Well, if it was plugged in...

No prob. At least you were on the right track. These kids today, they got no culture. Can you believe this?  “Sell me your children”!I don’t get it mglik, they are on a mission from God. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLUiK2lbN2s 
Help selecting a power cord.
If you are stumbling through power cords then don't whatever you do put them on cable elevators. You will trip for sure.

What Are Your Reference Discs? or Specific Reference Tracks
Pretty sure that is exactly what I said. ;) 
upgrades
That is some nice stuff there. Put the speakers on Townshend Podiums, put the VPI on Townshend Platform, and everything else on Pods. You will not believe the improvement. Then get some TA-102 fO.Q tape. Cut a piece to fit between the cart and hea... 
Hearing aids for audiophiles.

Kinera Odin 2.0!
Interesting. I'm listening to Campfire Andromeda, and they are a bit bright, so they just today delivered Dorado which I am thinking will be a keeper. Fingers crossed.   Andromeda is good enough I didn't want to send them back to swap, and risk tr... 
testing a crossover
I have a love/hate relationship with puzzles like this. On the one hand I love em because it is nice to think they can be solved if only you know enough. On the other hand I hate em because you never can be sure you are getting the whole story. Li...

Now playing one of my two Better Records. Yes, it is a big step up.OK, they are worth it. Now more than ever! Goes from the sound of humans to the sound of G-d. A religious experience.But I still look forward to every “regular” record. That is my ...
