Whoa, slow down - you're claiming there's a measureable difference in the capacitance of speaker cables after "burn-in"? Have you tested that? If so how exactly did you measure the capacitance? I'd be very interested - and surprised- if that's true, but I must say I'm pretty skeptical. Same goes for the first paragraph I quote above - interesting, but I'm skeptical. Do you remember which quantities for which components changed by 15-20%? People design circuits for physics experiments with incredibly narrow tolerances. They measure quantities using them to ten significant figures and more. A gradual change over time in some amp or component of order 20% would be very difficult to deal with in those experiments - and they're using good quality components, but nothing fundamentally different than those you find in consumer audio products. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31311 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
