As above, I am not versed in Passive pre-amp(s) but it appears that a few of you guys know the subject matter.   Excellent banter and discussion on this matter and XO talk.   Happy Listening!

Cabling talk, is most certainly welcomed here, as it is, my favorite aspect of our hobby. Pertinent to any system and critical for true synergy.  As we build a preferred  Amplifier list, it would not be a bad idea to build a cabling list as well.  We all hear differently and have different tastes / brands of cables/power cords endorsed.

Happy Listening!

Hi Tom,
I tried to click on the link but apparently I do not have permission to view the document.

Thanks,

Andy, the link doesn't open for me either. Try pasting the link directly into your browser or googling the topic we were discussing and see what you find. The abstract was merely a type sample of the level of investigation being carried out in advanced circles and doesn't necessarily address the mechanisms of how wire might transform in response to use.

Thank you Tom.  Cable burn in is definitely a controversial topic.  At a molecular level, I don't see how a current cannot alter the metallic structure, but I think the controversial part is in our hearing.  When it come to our listening, we can be subjective.
