On the subject of micro-arcing, I have very little technical knowlege, but the concept makes sense to me. Contact surfaces are not perfectly smooth, but have tiny pits, spaces or gaps. Why wouldn't arcing occur in them, and why couldn’t it have an...

Nickel Creek's self-titled debut album is sounding wonderful right now 😀

Genuine skepticism and caution certainly have their place, but I struggle to understand and tolerate those who just enjoy raining on someone else's parade. I guess the old saying “misery loves company” applies.When somebody experiences something g...

I just treated the spades on the amp end of my speaker cables. At least in my experience, the increase in transparency, clarity and musicality is obvious right after you apply TC. If it gets even better over time, then I am going to be one happy c...

Sound of cables breaking in?
lak,the Cable Cooker is definitely on my list of things to get. Do you have the adapter to do grounds? That's reported to make a difference, as well. 
Sound of cables breaking in?
pc997,Assuming the cables don't have any obvious problems with the quality of construction or materials used,If you’re talking about properties that are measurable with test equipment, I am not aware of any that are really useful for this purpose,...
