Phono pre "Break-In" process? Necessary?
Its ironic that good news for audio would fall on deaf ears belonging to audiophiles.

Well good luck guys -These threads have not changed much.I tried to tell you about something legitimate that will have an impact on the very industry around which your hobby exists. Unless you are an amplifier manufacturer yourself in which case I...

Phono pre "Break-In" process? Necessary?
r_f_sayles Perhaps unmeasurable, but never the less, still perceptibleThank you for being open minded. It is exactly as I posted. The good news is that there is proof of concept. If you have read my white paper you will see that I absolutely held... 
Phono pre "Break-In" process? Necessary?
I hope to aid in the understanding of break-in and what it does.During my research into distortion, I was forced to include the break-in phenomenon. Mostly because the tiny distortion I was going after was very similar to the size of the distorti... 
if you had my system and $2,000 budgeted for an upgrade, where would you spend it?
Mark,Nice system you have - and so organized! I have seen so many systems that look like rats nests in the back (and front).Years ago I worked for a stereo retailer who sold Revox tape decks.The customer was ready to buy when the wife says "what i...

Throwing tons of money into a product does not necessarily make it work any better, Often it ends up on the outside as window dressing. They have to justify the cost somehow. Those manufactures are simply testing the limits of what they can get an...

wolf_garcia,As a product accumulates burn-in time the distortion is reduced.If your system begins to sound worse - Don't blame the new product, blame a component ahead if it that may have sounded harsh but was tamed down by the "fresh" amp that co...

The most emotional amp out there?
Pat wrote... Why is an amp supposed to be "emotional"? I thought the goal of us amp makers was to produce a product that neither added to, subtracted from, or changed the original source.Right???? If you go to live performances you often see man... 
Neutral electronics are a farce...
geoffkait,Ok so we all knew the cup would fall. Moving on...Can you tell me what happens if the velocity of an audio signal entering an amplifier leaves at a different velocity? And if that can be plugged into your formulas, why wasn't this fixed... 
Neutral electronics are a farce...
MapmanIf you step back and try to see the overall process, it becomes simpler.The electronics is the only part of the signal path that differs as a medium from the air in the hall at the venue and air in your living roomThe live performance litera... 
Neutral electronics are a farce...
Mapman,Absolutely - the method I use is quite radical and unconventional. This is one of the reasons that people who hear this technique for the first time are shocked at how well it replicates the live event. It is capable of  unraveling the layo... 
Neutral electronics are a farce...
geoffkait,With all due respect...I don't need to crack the text books to know that if I push a cup off a table that the next thing it will do is hit the floor.   This reminds me of Thomas Edison's Light Bulb TestThomas Edison, the inventor of the ...
