    So being in Mn, you use it when listening to Prince then?

    Impromptu break dance sessions in Lycra is not really a sport for mature aged people. It was not a great deal of fun “back in the day” either.

    Silver cable break in

    That is a lot of chaff hiding any answers…

    Silver cable break in

    Nah… I’m still happy to stick with the same existing questions for now.

    Silver cable break in

    But… what is ^the point^? Most people do not concern themselves with electron states and spin as much as political and news spin. Are you suggesting that cables have some alignment of their spin in the metal?or in the dielectric? And then that they should be aligned with a strong magnetic...

    ^that^ seems wise. ;)

    Silver cable break in

    ^This^ is great - we are back onto silver from silver coloured CDs. What is the insulator made of in ^those^ cables? Is there more of a correlation to burn in with teflon or PTFE or vinyl, than with cotton or silk?

    Silver cable break in

    Yep - I concur with ^all that^…. If there is some buffering of the output, then the bits can put pushed out with a few cycles of delay to ensure that they are clocked out with a uniform spacing. But ^all that^ has no thinking to do with the charge on the CDs. And I may have to start at the...

    What kind of errors do the wobbling and fluttering produce? And how does the vibration manifests as data errors?

    Silver cable break in

    If ^that^ was the case, then it would result in corruption of data on CDs and make things like excel spreadsheets in error… which we have never heard of… It would induce a current flow in a wire, but there is no conductor. There is no way for extra electrons to be deposited nor for extra...

    Silver cable break in

    What do CDs have to do with silver cables breaking in? I suppose one would see bit errors then, with CDs? And CDs used to hold data, would need magnets in their readers to prevent data corruption? I am not even sure how, or if, a magnet would affect a static charge.

    Silver cable break in

    What is the hypothesis of what is getting “burned in?” The conductor? the insulation? or something else? What is getting magnetised? (I thought Silver in particular was not very magnetic)

    System for Under US$10,000 MSRP

    The fellow might need to be a Christian to abide it.

    System for Under US$10,000 MSRP

    what is wrong with ^them^? What is wrong with ^those^? So far, all I have gleaned is that the fellow wants a TT. Maybe just consider adding a TT to what he already has. There is always more to be done, but that gets it started.

    Does DSP belong in State of the Art Systems?

    Actually Ralph, while I generally agree… lets think about a finite number of bass frequency problem areas. if one can magically suck out all the bass with absorbers, then there is only the power to push the bass out in the first place… and not power to try and overcome a null. (If the room is...
