TD, You do have a way of creating a strawman and then knocking it down. I recommended Hagerman's site because he admits he doesn't know why burn-in works scientifically but does offer his own empirical findings. He also has built some relatively affordable burn-in accelerators and they seem to sell well. I find this market acceptance an indicator of reasonable value given his very low key approach to advertising and his willingness to share openly his engineering. Hagerman is one of the good guys in audio and offers some of the most reasonable priced gear to audiophiles out there. Using his Frykleaner as an example, he prices it at different levels with different finishes so its available to a wider audience. Using the Frykleaner as an example, one can get it as follows: --- If you want a fancier case and heavier duty outputs so one can burn in multiple cables then you have the Frykleaner Gold at $500 --- Or if that's too much one can buy the standard Frykleaner assembled for $175 --- Or if that's too much one can buy the circuit board and build it oneself for $39 --- Or if that's too much one can download the sound clip for free I think claims that he's milking audiophiles are really missing the mark. ---Gary -- GaryB ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GaryB's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3169 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33615 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
