Could you hear this difference in a blind test? If not, or if you haven't tried it, it means nothing. Please don't take that personally - if I or anyone else tried the same not-blind experiment and heard a difference, it would also mean nothing. Expectations are very powerful. And incidentally, the experiment you describe here has nothing to do with what is normally called cable burn-in, where the cable is left stationary and some electrical signal is sent along it. The effect you're talking about, if it existed, could result from something as simple as improving the electrical contact the cable makes with the amp from detaching and re-attaching it - nothing to do with burn-in. I love this flat-earth thing - it's so deliciously ironic that audio subjectivists see themselves as the scientific rationalists in this debate... -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33615 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
