| Cables "Burn In" Thanks for jumping in there Bear. It is good to have input from the professional side of the camp too. Like you, i've always wondered whether someone that has shipped me cables for burning was hearing the same thing that i've heard here. In other ... | |
| I'm still working to love digital, are you? Eric and Will, i agree with both of your posts and understand EXACTLY where you are coming from. I just happen to think that the defining lines between the "soulmate" and "perfect lover" have become permanently blurred for me within the confines o... | |
| Cables "Burn In" Pbb, while i have watched and measured the differences in electronic circuitry "settling in" using test equipment, i had thought that "wire burn in" was a complete joke. I found out differently and the results were undeniable after some first hand... | |
| Oh where or where have all the buyers gone? I think that EVERYTHING has slowed down economically. My personal business has slowed somewhat and in turn, so has my personal spending.Glen: When you get to the "giving it away" stage, PLEASE just send me an email rather than posting it on A-gon.... | |
| Cost Sharing ?? I did this with several other "inmates" from the Asylum and we turned it into a fundraiser. Everyone got a great deal on the products and it helped to support that site. The first time was with several large spools of a couple different Belden cab... | |
| George Lucas using B&W Nautilus 802 in his studio. You mean that they aren't using ATC's, Yamaha's, JBL's, Fostex, etc... ??? THANK YOU Sugar for posting this. This is EXACTLY the point that i was trying to make : ) Sean> | |
| Getting started with a second system... There was another very good thread on a similar topic a while back. Unfortunately, a thorough search of the archives turned nothing up.First of all, i would suggest the following:1) Start with efficient speakers that are of "normal" impedances. Th... | |
| I'm still working to love digital, are you? Eric, while i don't mean to come across as being rude, i'm going to ask an honest question here. I know that you are a big fan of Stan Warren products. Knowing that and having read the praises heaped upon his mods to DVD based players ( some of th... | |
| Music to die to Hand me one last "brew" and let me ( or at least try to ) sing along with the Pogue's. One of their tunes "The Sick Bed of Cuchulainn" comes to mind. If you know the lyric's, you'll understand why... Sean> | |
| Why buy older digital gear? It's been my experience that the older Cal Audio Lab's DAC's still sound far more "musical" and "liquid" than some of the current 24 bit offerings. I'm not saying that they beat ALL of them, only that they can hold their own. This is especially tr... | |
| Cables "Burn In" Sugar, the main benefits that i've experienced from "burning" cables is that they tend to sound far more natural, offer increased liquidity and sound less "hi-fi". Rough edges are removed and all that you are left with is the music in an even more... | |
| Replacing internal wiring. Tom, what brand of solder is that ? I know that Cardas has a copper element to it, but it is surely not a high enough level to call it copper based. Care to share your "secret" with us ? Sean> | |
| Cables "Burn In" Unless you put them on some type of "burner" for more than a few days, they will never fully "burn in". Nor will you ever know their full potential. I base these statements on past experience with cables that i have used under normal circumstances... | |
| Any experience with Rick Schultz SACD mods? My experience is that Rick is BRUTALLY honest, to the point of hurting his own business. He is not taken to "hype" and basically says what is on his mind without overstating anything. I know for fact that he has talked people out of doing business... | |
| What's your tube pre doing? South, i can't remember who it was, but someone else posted a similar question about Cary vs ARC a while back. I and several others stated that we thought that they were on somewhat opposite ends of the spectrum tonally ( the Cary's are warm and f... |
