| Duleland break in time My experience with speaker cables has been to expect the biggest break-in steps in the first week or so. You can speed things up with a test track CD played on repeat every so often. It all depends on how much you play music and how impatient you ... | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 I can only attest to break in up to around the 40-50 hour mark since I broke my ICs and had to get some new ones which resulted in concurrent break in (new ICs and the Kinki). Also, I ran a test burn in CD several times to speed things up in both ... | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 Congrats d2girls! With those speakers you're going to be the envy of the Kinki camp (or at least me 😄).We eagerly await your first impressions. I dare say you're going to love it.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 Aside from the pleasantly soft clicking of the volume, my Kinki is dead silent. I had a Burson with a stepped attenuator that wracked my speakers while changing volume to the point where it sounded like the drivers were ripping apart, when a sourc... | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 I always hear "thin is in". I guess "fat is where it's at." 😄 | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 You can also use CR2025 and sometimes a CR2032. For a remote, I don't think it would matter much.I got a 4 pack from some online battery store when purchasing a mini flashlight.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 Yes, designs come and go, are further improved only to be again, further improved, and I'm still in the Class A/B camp. | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 @d2girls, Wow, to think you can get your hands on the JBL 4367 makes me wish I were richer and had the space to accommodate those speakers. As to the compatibility, I don't see any problems. The Kinki will have excellent control over the woofer (t... | |
| Opinions on these budget integrateds? Kinki EX-M1, for sure.As much as I loved my Marantz Reference PM-15S2b, the Kinki bettered it in every aspect.Also, nice to know who you are, @mboldda1.👍All the best,Nonoise | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? There must be a dustbin of disproven, conventional wisdom that's not been dumped as of late. | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? It has everything to do with this discussion as the author pointed out that what he tested operates in the 1Hz to 1Khz range (lots of overlap with audio, wouldn't one say?). Not that doubtful at all......And thanks, I do trust my ears and cables a... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? rdwv: maybe in your time you ran into Bill Kenney who wrote this:http://www.tempoelectric.com/Wire_and_Cable_Facts.pdfOne can reasonably extract from his findings that what connectors and RCA jacks can do a signal can do the exact same thing to wi... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? It would seem that even in a high-end forum site such as this, discussions from others from other sites with an agenda devolve into childish attacks. Lots of psychological tricks being played here.......It goes both ways. Do any of you from that o... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? It sure beats the usual bingo game. They get to crack wise and drop names and cite their credentials, but in the end, its' kinda sad.Been there, heard that.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? It's amazing how many clowns can fit in that car. |
