I have been awestruck by this recording. I am already into the third cut before I could form words.
I rarely come across a piece of Music, so unique as to make me want to tell everyone I know that I have found Gold!
We have all heard "interpretations" of the Pink Floyd Classic "The Dark Side of the Moon", some better than others, but I had never heard a Jazz rendition.
This is a Chesky Records production and it is well worth tracking down on Spotify.
It is done well, it is done respectfully to the intent of each passage. Imitation may be a sincere form of flattery, but only if done well.
This is the Best cover of Pink Floyd I have heard.
I am shaking down this iFi Audio micro iDSD BL, letting the signals flow through the magnetic conduction devices 24-hours a day.
Burn-in time with Magnetic Conduction is the secret sauce.
You hear an immediate impact, just plugging in, but NOTHING like you will hear after 3 days (72-hours) or 9-days, which is over 200 hours.
This is what they call the "introduction to the potential"-phase. Each day it sounds better than the night before. like the gift that keeps on giving.
I have been told that 400 hours of signal (17 days) is the "official" break-in period, and the further up the design chain, the longer the break-in period.
New CT-2 technology begins to "come into song" after 400 hours of burn.
I am sure the R&D folks have realized that there is no end to the improvement. Think about it. The effect is immediate, but it gets better.
By what mechanism does this process "shut off"? Logically, it would be when the magnets begin to fail, right?
Exactly right, you get the gold star. These magnets will fail someday, and we hope that the slight loss of Sound Quality will not be significant...you see these are Permanent Magnets, and yes, in 10,000 years, they will have lost <1% of their magnetic power.
Okay, I get it...as long as the magnetic adapters are attached to the cable or MCT device, they will just keep getting better?
Well, the Lab boys say I cannot make that claim, as we don't have the technology to age a device for 10,000 years.
Alright, enough of the run-around, how long do I need to break in a High Fidelity Cables Magnetic Conduction device?
Let me answer in the most honest way I know how, and mean no disrespect---they will still be burning-in when you can no longer use them, if added to the Will, will keep on sounding good well into the future.
I am not a scientist, I am an audio writer, I have no way of telling how long, but 400 hours Minimum for maximum effect.
Unless you think there is a noise floor somewhere below dead silent...
