Keeping an IC broken-in…is this a good idea?

Oldhvymec, thanks for the ideas.  My pre does not have a TapeIn only TapeOut.  That is why I thought of using an unused input.   Using a second system is a great idea for cables adn components!!

All Teo Audio cables are conditioned at the manufacturing point, by Teo Audio.

DO NOT use a cable cooker on Teo audio cables. Do. Not.

Liquid metal at room temperature is a wholly quantum beast(*). It is not wire. Wire...which would not be considered to be an overall quantum equation or situation.

Whereas a liquid metal most definitely is in the quantum camp.

After over 10 years of dealing with the mental fragmentation bombs being constantly thrown at Teo for saying what is scientifically obvious, it is nice to say such things... without being beaten down by the ignorant (via a few dozen to a seeming hundred hateful postings).

That.....is a huge sea change. Think about it.

I'm fascinated to hear more.  Please expand and go into detail.  Feel free to provide equations.

@onhwy61 ,

I must say I fully appreciate the respectful, yet obviously sarcastic calling out of B--S--.

Does liquid metal have resistance? Yes (quite a bit actually)

Does liquid metal constructed into a cable have capacitance? Yes

Does liquid metal constructed into a cable have inductance? Yes

Does liquid metal constructed into a cable have characteristic impedance? Yes

Does liquid metal experience skin effect? Yes

Do band-gaps of metallic semiconductors stay similar from solid to liquid state indicating similar quantum properties? Yes

Does the atomic bonding structure of room temperature liquid metal alloys improve as it relates to conductivity, whereas for some metal (copper, silver), it is already optimal in the solid state? Yes


Yes, please enlighten us.

The definition of a metal is that it conducts electricity, so it would exhibit those properties whether in liquid or solid phase.  We are talking about room temperature and normal atmospheric pressures?  What any of that has to do with quantum states is what befuddles me.
