Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
If they were to do just that, they'd hear it, deny it, become infuriated over it, and continue to attack and demean those who do hear it. Ah, but I repeat myself....All the best,Nonoise 
“Oppomod” linear power supply
I had done it to my BDP-103 and the improvement was worth it. It wasn’t OPPOMOD but something similar. If you want something that some would consider higher quality, check out Clones Audio. Funjoe makes a very high quality LPS and has a nice YouTu... 
No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need
A one foot length would make for a great blackjack. 🤪 
Speed kills....
I love the title of the OP's thread: Speed Kills....It takes me back to the old days of cars and drag races into the wee hours of the morning. Back then I wanted a t-shirt that read:Speed Kills-Try It. I see it's very appropriate here as well.All ...

What a coincidence. I just came across this site that was recommended by another site:http://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-cable.htmMaybe this can help the OP is determining what he needs.All the best,Nonoise 
The 70’s are back
Speaking of Nakamichi, although I couldn't afford it, I always lusted over their car audio cassette players.

Oh BTW , did you use a book of matches or your pocket comb to jam into the face of your 8 Track player to stop slippage ? Yup. But I found match books to work best. 👍As to redoing the crossovers, check out Kenrick Sound over on YouTube. They do an... 
Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
If it sounds wrong the first time, it will continue to sound wrong, unless you’re some kind of nihilist or defeatist, or your name is eeyore.I'm adding this so as to not confuse anyone: cables do break in and it's not your ears getting used to the... 
Here comes the Oppo UDP-205 replacement....
I posted this over on an OPPO thread: https://hdguru.com/pioneer-unveils-elite-brand-universal-ultra-hd-blu-ray-player/.It’s a step below the 800 and will go for just under $1100, so all is not lost if playing blu ray movies is your thing.Come to ... 
The 70’s are back
I think they do. Just the buzz here from the announcement shows that they've hit a nerve. Anyone who grew up when those original L-100s were around are feeling something tickling their insides and resisting the urge to reach for their wallets or d...

Alvin, do you ever sleep? 😴 
The 70’s are back
People have to stop conflating a speaker from the '70s to one being made presently. Also, anyone who's heard a modern JBL speaker like the 4319, 4367, and even the new L-100 would be wrong to state that they're only good for rock and pop as I can ... 
The 70’s are back
@rja The speakers that d2girls ordered (4367) don't have the option for different colored grills. Like my 4319s, they come with only one color for the grill. It's the L-100 speakers that do have 3 different grill cover color options.All the best,N... 
The 70’s are back
@d2girls, I believe the L-100s have a similar, if not the same, 12" base driver that my 4319s have and it can pound out the tunes without raising a sweat. That, and the lower end is so much more convincing coming out of a transducer that can adequ... 
The 70’s are back
When I bought my JBL 4319 monitors, the JBL-100 were being shown off but were not for sale as of then. Although I love my 4319s, the fact that the midrange is pure pulp paper, like the woofer, kinda piques my interest. Don't get me wrong as I love...
