To me breakin of cables is very obvious. I noticed so much difference in the Zu Ash digital cable I bought. The makers of this cable simulate the topology of the cable in software (Maxwell) and I think they account for the change in capacitance during breakin in their design. Yes, they do mention breakin. I have no doubt they are genuine electrical engineers. Pretty smart guys who left KimberKable to start Zu (where they make speakers and subwoofers now). -- SoftwireEngineer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SoftwireEngineer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7000 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31311 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
