| Cable Burn In lowrider57 said:" N80, you stated that you are new to the audiophile world. So, shouldn't you approach the subject of burn-in or run-in with an open mind?"Yes. And I will. And to be clear, I have not stated that it isn't real. I've only pointed o... | |
| Speaker spike feet? The OEM spikes from Aerial Acoustics are $100. I think I will pass on those and try one of the alternatives you guys have suggested. | |

| Cable Burn In That lends some credibility to the issue. And would make a test much easier. I'm assuming someone or some magazine has done it? Just compare cables from that same manufacturer that have had their burn-in service and that have not. Let a group of a... | |
| New to HiFi, need digital advice. Thanks David. I'll check that out. | |
| Cable Burn In For a while in the automotive performance world (street, not track) there was the craze for so called grounding kits. This was a large diameter wire to help ground the car's electrical system better than the factory ground(s). For years people spe... | |
| New to HiFi, need digital advice. Thanks. I will consider that as well but the question (because I'm new to this) remains, how does one of these interface with the pre-amp and how can I control it remotely? (Of course I can and will research this myself.) | |
| Cable Burn In Did not intend to open the nonoise must have been referring to in the first reply. And I have no expertise to say anything about this issue.I would just re-state that it seems impossible to assess SQ differences that are separated by days. And it ... | |
| New to HiFi, need digital advice. lowrider, I don't know if you're making a wrong assumption about how ignorant I am about all this or a correct assumption about how gullible I am because I cannot find a setting for Optical Digital Out Port on my MacBook Pro (10 years old) or the ... | |
| Speaker spike feet? I'm definitely going to try something. Look forward to seeing if the voodoo is real. ;-) | |
| Non-audiophile needs help with older system. I have to admit I just bought a junk phono-preamp. The TT is also fair at best. I'll play around with my records a little bit and see if I want to go that direction.Anyway, another question, I have found a subwoofer that was with another system th... | |
| New to HiFi, need digital advice. mahler, don't worry about being pedantic. I do know that CD's are digital (and that apparently my old Arcam player has a 'good' DAC) but otherwise all of this gets very confusing for someone new to it all.And you may be right about not going down ... | |
| Speaker spike feet? Thanks guys. I'll wait to hear from the guy at Aerial but if his are pricey you've given me a number of good alternatives. I've probably got enough grade 8 stainless bolts in my parts bin to make a set of these on the grinder....which appeals to t... | |
| Cable Burn In I believe you. I doubt it is anything I would ever notice and it does sound like a very clever way for a cable company to excuse a bad product. I mean, how do you compare what you are hearing right now vs what you're hearing 7.29 days later? Just ... | |
| Speaker spike feet? I could make spikes out of bolts. |
