I also believe the use of degaussing sweeps, such as on the Cardas Frequency Sweep and Burn-In Record (side 1, cut 2a) helps.


I took cable in my system to anothers house for a shoot out. After returning and installing the cable, the sound was muddy as heck. Only after a few days of playing music and leaving my system on did the sound start sound like it did before I moved the cable. And that was before I found and read the article by Mr. Cardas.

How would you explain that? Not disputing anything you said, just looking for answers. Thanks.

Unless it can be repeated and quantified, there is no way to verify nor explain what you are claiming. It's just an interesting story at this point.
