| Best interconnect burn-in method Fortunately, there is no logical reason for burn-in with cables. So your approach will be equally effective as any other. If you experience audible differences over time (drift in performance) then it would be best to have your active gear (amp, p... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... @almarg Quote As an electrical engineer having extensive experience designing high speed digital, analog, A/D converter, and D/A converter circuits (not for audio), I don’t find the reported differences to be either surprising or mysterious. And I... | |
| How often do you clean cables? And which types do you clean most often? I have never cleaned cables. Brush my teeth twice a day though. And dust my broom as often as I can. | |

| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Homage to Duke by Dave Grusin is a fantastic recording. BTW - since when did this thread become about Jazz recordings? Did I miss something in the way fuser’s logic is fused? Like the way fuser's think that extreme sensitivity to fuses and possibl... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... @mac48025 "...a fuse CAN'T effect (affect) sonics? Why not? Doesn't AC quality do so? Don't quality power cords do so? Why not the spot where all that AC current is condensed into a frail wire designed to disintegrate upon too much amperage? If th... | |

| Best furniture to act as bass trap Toilets make a great bass trap. They are customizable too - depending where you sit and/or the fluid/solid levels you can tune them for the best sound. The only drawback is fitting the rest of your gear in the toilet - usually the door won’t close... | |
| Turntable? I like vintage sound. Pioneer or Denon or Technics from the late 70’s for TT. For cartridge I like the FM radio broadcast sound of the Denon 110. For vinyl I would only by Japanese unless you are willing to risk quality | |
| Very Bad purchase from upscale audio Acoustic Zen Adagio Sorry to see you were swindled. At least it was still a fairly low price you paid.I find it amazing AZ can make speakers so cheaply. The finish looks great but maybe one of them sat in the sun. That is a huge amount of wood working and finishing. | |
