didn't mean to imply i listened for 75 hours -after- switching polarity. in total, i probably had 75-100 hours since i replaced the monoprice w/ the Ocos. and i think the timing of the "break in" was coincidental, but wanted to put all the info out there. i tried to upload a pic along with my original post but for some reason the board would not allow it. -- 4 TB Drobo-->FW 800-->mac mini-->Ethernet Transporter--> Wireworld Eclipse 6 coax-->Meridian G61 G61--> Nordost Red Dawn-->Primare 30.3 Primare-->Ocos--Vienna Acoustics Beethoven/Maestro ------------------------------------------------------------------------ netchord's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21002 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103502 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
