| The molecular level explanation of "cable burn-in" Cords and Cables are simple. First ... ignore all sales pitches. Then: 1. If you are happy with your system don’t change any cords or cables. 1a.

Yet the next step is most important .... do not buy anything unless a. You NEED it. How do I know? Because you are BOTHERED and can NAME the ISSUE you wish to SOLVE b. You have done an A/B i... | |
| SST Son Of Ampzilla II vs Parasound A21 or A23+ @steakster come up to Atwater Village anytime. The Evolution MM3 Exact and Bricasti M1 SE in a great room reveals all :) | |
| SST Son Of Ampzilla II vs Parasound A21 or A23+ @tubeguy76 Oh yes for sure, Made in California like all Magnus Audio The MA-150 is what I've always wanted from solid state at any price, just enough warmth but still clear, and punchy.

| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system There's no way to purchase a complete system for someone else, best thing would be spend a little of that money to make a dedicated listening room, and I would do that with double layer drywall and green glue between the layers. Measure the room ... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? Musical is a qualitative term not a quantitative measure. | |
| "I'm a believer" Everything in high end has diminishing returns, DACs, cables, speakers are just part of it. | |
| I Cried Today Lovely post, may John's memory be a blessing to his family and friends, and thanks to you to everyone here as well :) | |
| Steely Dan UHQR Bernie is being honest, not spinning anything. What he’s talking about is pushing the mids for radio limiters of the day and not too much low end for older turntables and the cartridges of the day, plus limited speaker response below 100 hz. Add t... | |
| Has anyone bought the Psvane Acme 300B Vacuum Tube? Allnic A-6000 monos running 8 x 300B XLS for 12 hours a day for many years with no issues ... and light wear on the tubes (Amplitrex AT-1000 tested). How do the 1980/2000s or modern Western Electric 300Bs compare to BXLS? |
