     This is a verbatim quote, from a letter Brent Jessee sends, whenever one buys valves from him:                    "CARE AND FEEDING OF NEW TUBES: BREAK-IN      New tubes need a break-in period before they can fully exhibit their true sonic c...

                          In keeping with the thread's theme, I'll rephrase:        And some want to make categorical proclamations/pontifications, as to whether it's possible for cables, constructed with knowledge gleaned since 1927, about CRYOG...

@carlsbad2 - I've never been a fan of cryo.  If you want nothing to change, cool it to cryo temps.  Physics has never provided a basis for it working on anything.  I've also been in several other hobbies where it is touted as a cure all.  Never ...

Your "Many Worlds" Audio System?
     Does this mean: there are actually some, on this site, willing to discuss how Quantum Mechanics might actually influence our listening?       I'll repost some snippets, from previous threads, for the interested, while cooling the flames, I t... 
From whence does Sound Stage come?
                        Bookcases DO make great diffusers.     I use my old Magnepan MG12s for front, Home Theatre (5.1) speakers.     Their back waves fire into a pair, from less than 15", instead of having to be further into room.            ...

From whence does Sound Stage come?
@oldrooney -        There are less expensive options available than genuine Sonex, or Auralex (LENRDs), on eBay*.         I can only assume: they'd be as efficacious, as the real thing.                               Can't REALLY see why not!  ...
