That guy is not a myth.

Well, at least you didn't say "ding-dongs".

Active, it's the only way go. No p#ssing around with pots in a can for me. I want DC-daylight, a large voltage swing at a low impedance...

100% disagree, 65 yo and never liked streaming. Tried tidal, Spotify and Amazon. Content with 40,000 flacs, and rotate through thrift...

A system I would buy today, would cost half as much as what I have spent on my system. If not lower....

If we're still talking about burn-in of a transport, DAC or cables, that is actually 100%. By the way, this is not an opinion, it's a...

Hopefully this is meant as a joke?

It's also the answer from basic physics and engineering. The "brightness" is also (outside of your lying human brain) vanishingly...

To paraphrase Peter Aczel, a transport can't make the 1s more 1-ish, or the 0s more 0-ish. It works or it doesn't.

And that presupposes that there is a 'sound' to get used to! A CD transport doesn't and can't have a sound, nor can any half-competent...

Without going into further detail, it seems you've already addressed your own question, both regarding the so-called experts and the...

Then, those ain't "experts" in any shape or form. There's no such thing as burn-in for electronics or cables (what kind of joke is that?).
