Aerial 10-T ---Single Wire, Bi-Wire, & Bi-Amp
Mattkim96, you're quite welcome. The Au24 speaker cables have been outstanding. A few months ago, I purchased a few pair of Au24 XLR ic and have been quite impressed with the improvements there as well. Audience used to have a white paper of sorts... 
Aerial 10-T ---Single Wire, Bi-Wire, & Bi-Amp
I did bi-wire my 10T's with my previous cables and had a preference for that.That is until I purchased my Au24 speaker cables 18 months ago. Since that time, I've had no desire to bi-wire. I do use the Au24 6 inch jumpers.Care to share why you are... 
The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test
TheAudioTweak, I've toyed with the idea of cryo-treating my rack (just the rods and nuts) but I'm not sure where I would go to have such a thing done. I would think that cryo-treating a steel-framed rack would/could provide additional benefits.Tha... 
The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test
Zaikes. As you know, I'm in disgrace. And I have the perfect response for all of my enemies who have conspired against me in this endeavor. I just haven't thought of it yet. :) (just kidding of course).Seriously though, I remain a very committed b... 
The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test
Thanks, Maxgain. I guess that means I win the outlets!!! Boy, the things I have to make up just to win something around here.Actually, if you're going to take that nice attitude, perhaps I should re-install the cryo'ed outlet for a few more days j... 
The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test
Hey Hdm, my experience was positive too! Just ask me. :)Several things that cross my mind regarding the test:1. Although highly, highly unlikely, as I recall, Hdm stated earlier that he was quite certain which outlet he marked, but still not 100% ... 
The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test
I just read the email and yes Eldartford's labeling is correct. Interesting..., Psychic, I had a feeling somebody was breathing over my shoulder the past 10 days or so.-IMO 
The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test
I'm going to have to confer with the judges here. The one that I selected as the cryo'ed version is NOT the one that Eldartford labeled as cryo'ed according to the secret envelope.If I did not just have the one experience with the IEC, I'd have no... 
The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test
I won't say here which one is which but the first one I listened appears to be the cryo'ed version.Both add a bit of silvery tizziness over the FIM outlets (probably due to the plating). And because of this, it also gave the initial impression tha... 
The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test
Hdm, I've reached a conclusion regarding the supposed cryo-ed and non-cryo-ed outlets. To whom should present my findings? 
The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test
No problem, Alex. But you may notice, I intentionally started off both updates as 'generic'. Meaning that I had no intention of sharing specifics until I was confident that my testing was complete. This would be my second experience with a cryo-tr... 
The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test
Generic Update II.This afternoon I installed the second outlet. I let it burn-in for about an hour or so and then listened for about 20 minutes before heading out to watch a soccer game.Initial 20 minutes seemed to provide a slightly almost richer... 
The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test
Zaikesman, I see you let your prozac prescription run out again. :)I'd have to rank your post right up there along side War And Peace! For I too could not finish reading it. But it's not like I didn't try.I agree with Maxgain, try it, you'll like ... 
The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test
Eldartford, I could think of better things to do than swap outlets in and out. :)What got me excited was when I installed a cryo-ed IEC connector about 6 weeks ago and could not believe the improvements. Especially since I've had this cryo-ed IEC ... 
Is the significance of room acoustics overrated?
Good question. I suppose I picked up the term from seeing real estate / homes for sale ads.
