@tlong1958:How do the 4367s compare to the Array 1400s, and what did you do with your Arrays? I think I might have encountered a similar deal and all that I can tell from the specs alone is that the 4367 is sort of a hybrid 2/3 way design and it's... 
Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone?
Does anyone with experience using the Brooklyn (+ or regular) have any benchmarks in terms of burn-in time, or how long you used it before the sonic character "settled down" and reached a steady state? I was just wondering because I’m in the proce...

@folkfreak Thanks for that link. As I suspected, Shunyata is doing work to clean up electrical signals on medical imaging equipment cables. That’s legit, and so are power conditioners such as those AQ is discussing in your other link. There is sti...

" As an old-time ham station guy and electrical engineer, I started building my own audio systems following WWII, I'll state, based on many years of personal experience, that power cords do matter; BUT only in those instances where the cord's gau...

It’s all been said already, but you’re so busy huffing and puffing you probably don’t read it. God gave you two ears and one mouth for a reason. If I were you I wouldn’t wait by the phone for someone to agree with you. I’ll say it directly in res...

" [note to self: where do all these 🍑🎩 come from?]"They come from you. Because you have nothing better to do. Now, when you want to return to the subject of this thread - namely power cables - please let all of us know and we can resume. Until the...
