Thing is, though, he's not just saying "I can't justify the effects of cable 'burn-in' scientifically, but people claim to be able to hear a difference, so I believe there is a genuine effect on the properties of the cable and I have a product which I believe may stimulate and accelerate the process".
Instead, there's total hogwash about 'formatting' and 'washing' materials. We are told that a signal of a level which is safe for the fine wire in a cartridge will somehow succeed in "forming the materials after a chaotic manufacturing experience" - even if that cable will then be used to carry mains power. Even if break-in is indeed a real, physical process which does change the electrical characteristics of the cable, Hagerman is doing himself and the industry no favours by promoting his product with such unscientific babble. -- AndyC_772 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AndyC_772's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10472 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33615 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
