HiDiamond Diamond 3 XLR IC's - Burn-In Time?
http://www.audioexcellenceaz.com This is the website where Ozzy's information came from. I included it because there is a lot more information and pictures at that website. |
Although it is not yet fully understood scientifically, the phenomenon of cable break-in has been experienced by many audiophiles.... One can now correlate the impressive signal level produced by the CABLE COOKER and the benefits derived by its use with the cabling in our audio/video systems. Wow that was impressive! The stuff in the middle is simple V=IR math. If is works at low current, why not cook quicker? Why not crank the current up to 10 amp or so? You should really be able cook quickly. And since signals flow only one direction, why not use DC? What is the point of the AC signal? Yep, dielectrics are not understood at all... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric IEEE paper where dielectrics are studied to only effect signals at RF and above. |
The dealer said minimum 100 hrs burn-in. I probably have 50-60. They are remarkably detailed and natural sounding, great soundstage, but still a bit tilted to highs and I feel like the bass has not yet fully developed. But I certainly do not find them so deficient I think about removing them. I actually am liking them so far. More to follow. In a few weeks I will switch back to my unbalanced JPS Aluminata with RCA-XLR adaptors and do a comparo, even though the thought of getting back down there amid the jungle of wires is extremely daunting. In fact, it is nauseating. The things we do . . . . Neal |
