Do cables settle in?
IMHO...yes. George Cardas is a big proponent of this and I've actually heard him demonstrate this several times with his cables, (I was a Cardas dealer for many years).http://www.cardas.com/insights_break_in.php

Listening volume
There is a "perfect" volume for every room and system. Too low and you can't hear every little nuance, too loud and the room starts to interact more and the sound starts to "bounce" around, (reflection and refraction) and things become diffuse. I ... 
Does the ESS Sabre Chip have a telltale sound?
No. I have had about 40-50 different DACS through here over the past 3 to 4 years.I always thought it was the DAC chip that dictated the sound. I found that was wrong. It depends on how that particular chip is used WITHIN the circuit. Many other f... 
Removing Morch DP-6 tonearm wires from cartridge
Sharpies work really well for color coding and are a little easier and cheaper to use than nail polish. That's what I've always used. 
Michell Gyro SE-what arm?
Stringreen...sorry, I stand corrected. I have never seen the VPI arm on a Gyro SE. I have seen it on a regular Gyrodec that has the acrylic bottom base. The SE stands for "spider edition" and doesn't have a base. You would have to mount it to the ... 
Static electricity....again
I know you posted about this last year and I pretty much have the same thing to say this year. I live in Northern Colorado and have none of the static problems you have.I do not have a humidifier, nor do I do anything special. Maybe it's something... 
Martin Logan SL3's I am lovin' them.
Elegal...it really depends on how loud you listen and the size of the room.I know of several people here that use that amp with great success on ML speakers. One member uses it on his CLSIIs, which are power hogs.I have tried a MC275 before and fo...

Martin Logan SL3's I am lovin' them.
I was a Martin Logan dealer for many years and have personally owned almost every model they've ever made.The SL3s are one of my favorite ML speakers. They can do wonderful things when properly set up and powered with enough juice.Enjoy your new s... 
Ever downgrade and have better sound?
I agree with Schubert. Many times for me also, not only with cables, but equipment too. 
Bidding Frustration
The seller always has the option of accepting a higher offer or a Buy It Now from another buyer even after you've sent them your offer. It has always been this way, AFAIK. 
Michell Gyro SE-what arm?
Stringreen...while I agree with you that the new 3D VPI arm is great, I don't think it can be mounted on a Gyro SE. Because of the junction box for connection, there just isn't enough room for it on the SE version. Maybe it could be used, but you'... 
Removing Morch DP-6 tonearm wires from cartridge
Holly...all those rubber/plastic boots are for is color coding for channel identification. They also cover the solder joint of the wire and clip, but really provide no extra benefit. IMHO, you shouldn't really be too concerned about them.I don't k... 
Intermitent audio cutouts??
He might try changing the audio output in the service menu of the ComCast box.
