Default Re: Audiophoolery. 'Cable Break In' - I never knew that!

The multiplex output from the Beam Echo tuner I restored went directly from the demodulator to a phono socket. As stereo was not being transmitted when it was made I guess they could get away with it, but a simple calculation says it would play havoc with the signal. I added a FET buffer.

I wonder how many buy equipment for other reasons than sounds quality. This definitely applies to speakers where looks often take precedence.

In modern art there is no coloration between skill and effort and the value. In celebrities, none between earnings and abilities. It's a strange world we live in and esoteric cables at least perform a useful function.
