| Initial disappointment with 1st set of “expensive’ IC’s... Break in or burn in, who cares. We all know what someone is talking about when they use either term. | |
| Initial disappointment with 1st set of “expensive’ IC’s... I have been using various Cardas cables for many years. They always need a very long break in, usually a couple of hundred hours to sound their best. If you have a burn in cd like XLO, that will speed things up. Even if I unplug cables and move th... | |
| Chicago Transit Authority I looked at the album cover and it is a Columbia PG 8. the record is GP8. Side A is XSM 139684. The etched number is XSM139684 - 1AE with a thin AF after it. I couldn't find those exact #s, but I'll keep checking. | |
| Musical fidelity M6SI problem. Thanks again for your time and good advice. The M6x sounds like a good choice and I will use balanced cables. | |
| Musical fidelity M6SI problem. The M6x is going to be available soon and it's supposed to be even better. At first I didn't think much of the phono stage in the amp, but after switching the phono interconnects and breaking it in for many hours I'm surprised at how good it is. I... | |

| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Buddy Rich and Alla Rakha | |
| WHAT IS THE MOST UNIQUE SONG THAT YOU HAVE EVER HEARD? The New Vaudeville Band - Winchester Cathedral | |
| Chicago Transit Authority Thanks. | |
| Musical fidelity M6SI problem. Well, everything is broken in now and I'm really happy with this amp. Even the phono stage is good, and not one problem. | |
| Chicago Transit Authority Surprise! My wife had her original album stored in a closet. She dug it out and I cleaned it. It has some light scratches on it, but not bad so I played it, and we both couldn't believe how good it sounded. It was way better than the SACD. What a ... | |
| EXTRA! EXTRA!! Millercarbon Proven Wrong!!! Read all about it! EXTRA! EXTRA!! Wire can oxidize over time, and that' why some companies coat individual strands. Also, I use Cardas cables and have always found they need a pretty long break in to sound right. | |
| My Terrible Emotiva Experience I wouldn't be happy either if this happened to me. I don't like returning things, and have overlooked minor flaws in demo equipment as long as the equipment worked properly. It should have been inspected, cleaned and repacked properly though. | |
| Chicago Transit Authority It didn't show a date, so I suspected it was a later pressing, although it looks like something from the 70s ( just a guess ). I think you're right. | |
| Chicago Transit Authority I saw a CBS Star Series LP Holland press. Anyone know about this version. |
