Do you have shop demo cables, or new out of the box cables to try ? >From listening to the change in sound that I heard when burning in my IC, the new and part way burnt in sound, is different to the end, fully burnt in sound. So in future I will always try and get hold of a demo cable that has had plenty of hours use already, let it settle in for an hour or two (system playing, not listening to it), then sit down, and then decide if I like it. The cable I bought needed approx 500hrs burn in, did not believe it to start with, but it did sound different to the demo cable I had borrowed. I seem to remember it went through stages and at one point I was going to take it back to the shop, as it sounded thin bright and scritchy. After a few more days it filled out bass came back, and it smoothed out lovely :) - To the sound I bought it for. So I'd say make sure it is fully burnt in before you decide to purchase it, or not. God knows how it works, I've not got a clue, but would be intrested to know how, if it can be explained in terms that I understand - (simple) :) -- Deaf Cat ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Deaf Cat's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=515 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33615 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
