| Headphone break in? I'm not familiar with the science of headphone drivers (or drivers generally), so I can't comment on 'burn-in' of the components. However, I think it's reasonable to say that the phenomenon of 'burn-in' involves a significant subjective aspect a... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 Ha, I have Harbeths (C7xd and P3xd) with the PrimaLuna EVO 400 as well. I have the PrimaLuna EVO 100 tube DAC and love it. | |

| 8-Tracks and Open-Reels: Who’s Got ‘Em and Whatcha Got? @wyoboy:The label is called Orbita. They’re based in Ulyanovsk, Russia and release mostly post-punk, new wave, and cold wave bands (which is a lot of what I listen to these days). That scene seems to be alive and well there.
