Whats on your turntable tonight?

@slaw  Similarly, I have found that my interconnect and speaker cables definitely had a change (for the better) at about 30 hours of run-in time.  I never thought of the change to be a "golden glow", as you put it.  But all other aspects you described are exactly what I found to be, beginning at around 30 hours.  
The bottom line is that yes, indeed, these current day cables of more exotic materials and construction do have a run-in time.  And they do settle in and sound much better.  Years ago I would never had thought that to be the case.  But listening is believing. And now I do believe!
It sure is fun, too.

My cables are silver stranded/twisted.

@bkeske Good to see you've invested in a bunch of 50/60s vinyl.

Actually, many of the mono LP’s I played over the weekend were purchased from our very own @slaw 

Really a nice collection overall he had.

re:  Ronnie Montrose   I suppose so.  Please don’t take it personally- I know you won’t.  Was going to add that I would normally hesitate to say anything negative about a record because invariably that record will be liked by somebody and people do tend to take/make their music a serious personal matter.  I thought though that the main thing about commenting on the later Montrose stuff is about the phenomenal disappointment.  (I’m certainly not in the minority on this).   It is of course of no consequence whatsoever that somebody else likes albums I have aversion to and vice versa.  
I like a lot of the music you post Bro and truly appreciate your taste and recommendations.
