| A question about cable break-in Two weeks of continuous playing can't be good for a CDP. And turning the volume down and you won't even be "breaking in" the pre-to-amp i/cs. Why don't you just send your cables to someone who has a cable burner? Maybe a little cost, but less head... | |

| Best reasonable$ upgrade from spikes? I am not a fan of Star Sound. The speaker spikes I bought from them left rings in cabinet. I called them to see if I could trade to the larger diameter spikes, but they wouldn't do it. They said the problem was with how the cabs' wood was curred (... | |
| Most Architectural Turntable/Best Looking? There are several really great looking TTs. You can see them often in Stereophile. But its really not even close. The answer to at least the aesthetic part of your question is the La Luce. Jameswei scores. | |
