Power Cable Break In - Such a Change!

Power Cable Break In - Such a Change!
@mrskeptic Several years ago I talked with an actual metallurgist and specifically asked him about cryogenic treatment of wires changing the crystal structure and when he stopped laughing, he said *if* that happens, the crystals will go back to...

Oz(zy) Thanks for all the posts thus far. Just a little of history. I have owned several iterations of PS Audio power plants. I also have owned Acoustic Revive, Shunyata, Purist, Synergistic etc. The AudioQuest Niagara 7000 has been the most imp... 
Power Cable Break In - Such a Change!

Has anyone ever used a IEC inlet with a fuses holder with a fuse and noticed any differences in sound before a fuse was used with the Truth preamp? Has anyone used a QSA Light blue and above or Synergistic Research Orange to Purple fuse with The T... 
CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS

CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS

@tomic601, This is from the 1973 Weather Report album 'Sweetnighter'. I didn't even know who Dom was or had anything to do with Brazil. I just thought he was an guy from India by his percussive style and his dark Brazilian skin tone. He's the cat...
