| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers I'd guess the Reynauds can't be too bright, or owners may have complained (though I've heard another report or two from people who thought they were a bit too bright).I used to heard all the JM Reynaud speakers at a local store including the floor... | |
| Thiel Owners Did one of my occasional searches on hi fi shark. Various speaker brands.Boy has the used market on Thiel 3.7 and 2.7s dried up! So few for sale for quite a while. Looks like most people are keeping theirs! | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? blueranger,Do any of the nasayers believe in equipment break in? Tube break in? Speaker break in? To be clear: I'm not a "naysayer" in the sense I claim cable burn in doesn't happen. I've just found the arguments I encounter FOR it aren't very co... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? taras22,Thanks for the invite. I might be at the Toronto show (hope to go).No worries, I'm not a leafs fan (not a hockey fan - I'm a bad Canadian that way). Oh, and I don't take any of these discussions seriously in terms of personalities or ho... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Congrats skyscraper. I've heard the Magico A3 and although in that audition they weren't my cup of tea, the showed lots of promise and had some stunning sonic qualities. I came away thinking they had to be one of the great current audio bargai... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers I noticed a pair of JM Reynaud Offrande Supreme 2 speakers for sale on Audiogon. And at an excellent price.I have to admit that created a little tug of "should I?" That was one of the speakers that I still found intriguing after auditioning them... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? taras22,And surely you have ample measurements to absolutely and fully prove all those assertions beyond the shadow of any doubt. Or are we going to have to trust hearsay based on information drawn from listening experiences using your, uhhhh, ear... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? Once one wraps their head around the perfectly acceptable concept of our hearing being better than a measurement (more exacting, differentiating, etc.) Why accept something untrue?Or, at least, we have to separate the untrue implications from the ... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? Taras,A bog standard cable should at the very least be adept at transmitting something as simple as pitch and duration but dealing with more complex timbre, transient vibrato and envelope modulation is a much more difficult undertaking and require... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? nonoise,Prof, do yourself a favor and check out the specs on a set of Darwin Truth II ICs and a pair of Blue Jean Cables ICs and you'll get it. Hardly.I looked at the Darwin website and it seemed to be full of all the dubious justifications as any... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? taras22,Gotta say that is a very odd thing for a fundamentalist to bring up.That was lame the other times you tried that approach; it doesn't get any better with time.You couldn't accurately articulate the position I have argued if you tried. (be... | |

| Thiel Owners Please andy2, not here with the burn-in cable stuff.(And a google of electromigration certainly does yield anything that establishes warrant for the cable-burn-in claims made by audiophiles/manufacturers. But best to make your claim in that thre... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? nonoise,Do you think that a 30 something gauge, single silver wire IC in a basically air dielectric can’t sound demonstrably different form a run of the mill, copper stranded Blue Jeans IC?Do you mean is it possible to choose a wire that simply ha... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? Admittedly with the lack of seriousness in the thread, combined with many of the weird things claimed in the audiophile domain, we can get in to a Poe's Law situation. That said...nonoise wrote:The same goes for fine, tonally textured base compa... |
