| Do cables really need "breaking in"? My friend has the Cable Cooker. He burned my i/c's for 48 hours and now I can hear a big difference. My cables (system) sound more like music than before. It works. | |
| Day Sequerra Reference Service That's the problem with Esoterica, unfortunately. Next time get something like a classic Yamaha T7 and you'll be set. | |
| Has anyone heard the Sumiko Marakanetz, have you heard the Monolithic phono stage with a low output MC? Does it work good, or is it just another Black Cube or Phonomena wannabe? | |
| Sonus Faber speaker cable recommendations I don't have Sonus Faber speakers but have tried many cables. I require a very smooth, neutral, and tightly focused soundstage. You can spend big-bucks on cables (I just bought the Siltech G5 interconnects) but you will not always get the most for... | |
| Best reasonably priced phono cable As always, Esoteric Audio cables are just fantastic. Can you afford $225-$275 ON A GOOD SET? Just my .02. | |
| Volume settings affect on speaker cable burn in ? You need high current/voltage especially for large gauge speaker cables. Put on some Rap and crank it up for 48 hours. | |

| Good & Bad quality recordings of SACD's? Nothing has changed since the vinyl days, the format does not determine sound quality. It is the engineering/production/studio that makes the difference. I own vinyl that sounds better than most SACD. Another disappointment; I read on the Audio Re... | |
| Wall Plates for speaker wire connections "Speakon" connectors can also be used (professional standard). Can be had from most suppliers like Mouser. | |
| Silver question... Not all silver cables are bright especially the Pure Notes. Pure Note has the speed of silver and warmth of copper. Actually they are very neutral. Since they compare to the Nordost Valhalla (they are not bright) you may want to try. I have also a... | |
| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? There is simply too much Esoterica in this site. If you compare the equipment owned by the Asylum inmates vs the people here you'll get the picture. DIY it's not an entree here. Also the questions on what they're doing and what's going on. Just my... | |
| SME V tonearm versus Rega tonearms on Michell Orbe Extremephono, you have just commited a sin! Blasphemy against an untouchable component in the high end audio circles...The Rega arm is REFERENCE in reviews and, as such, epitomizes class, finesse and status.Just my .02. |
