| Parasound A21+ or Emotiva XPA-DR2 Anyone else have any thoughts on this choice or other amps in the price range to consider? | |
| Parasound A23+ vs. Emotiva XPA-DR2 Thanks johnto! Presently, I am leaning toward the Parasound for the reasons you pointed out. Still, I love power so the Emotiva is enticing as far as that goes.I can obtain either amp for the same price.Anyone else have any thoughts on this or oth... | |
| Bryston 4B3 vs Mac MC462 vs Pass Labs X250.8, OR... GRYPHON Diablo 300? Wow! It's certainly nice that you're in a position to consider such a wonderful selection of amps.IMO, the Bryston and the McIntosh are at opposite sides of the spectrum. I agree with ajpk1971 that the Bryston is more dry sounding yet has a somew... | |

| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? glupson, you're certainly right about the emotional level raised over cable issues. While I've been late to this party, it's been entertaining at the very least. I've admittedly enjoyed this thread and ALL the commentary offered herein.I'm actuall... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? Hey ganainm, thanks for the response!No, I don't suggest these sites are chalked full of industry insiders but it is far more prevalent than just a few years ago and seems likely to get worse. The very nature of forums like this makes it easy to d... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? Hi glupson. You're certainly right to be confused about burn in if you're following this thread. BTW, love your suggestion about DACs. I did a quick check and found over 75,000 references to DACs on AG. DAC chips have already evolved well beyond o... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? geoffkaitI love them tomatoes. They exist, they're real, unlike speaker wire burn in.I think I'm finally seeing the light - that exists between your ears. From now on, I'm taking my new speaker cables to the holy land and drag them on the ground f... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? geoffkait -Obviously you can't or didn't read, listen or interpret the information I provided. It more than covers this so called "burn in" issue. It's real empirical data from real engineers, not unsubstantiated jibber jabber.Even the article you... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? Be sure to check out all the references and source material on this one. This is far and away the most comprehensive examination (with tests) of the subject in the modern age. Who is Roger Russell? Author, Artist, Engineer, Inventor, Photographer,... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? Thanks maritime51.This is way beyond ridiculous.Citing an article by a high end cable supplier with zero scientific data or support as some sort of proof of change in the properties of a wire to carry a given signal??Electromigration? The followin... | |
| Golden ear triton 1 vs tekton double impact speakers That may be interesting but it's not remarkable.I'm not trying to insult anyone's gear or choices.We all know that sound reproduction and listening and personal preferences are highly subjective things. A large part of that is the room characteris... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? What?? There is tons of empirical scientific data on this topic, all over the world, over many, many years. It's long settled - basic - physics. Do certain audiophiles have some innate pseudo-scientific knowledge that only their finely honed heari... |
