Thanks for the kind words, bcowen. It's been a rough year for me, and after a number of harsh personal attacks in AA while on the skids, it's been difficult if not impossible to feel motivated to share my findings in the forum as much as I wish to. If not for my deep if not habitual dedication to the spirit of the forum, and my personal need to share insights and be of help to others, and with no other audiophile forums I wish to participate in, a level of grief has set in. After nearly 12,000 posts in Audio Asylum over the past 14 years, the vast majority in Cable Asylum and Tweaks, I began to feel I may have worn-out my welcome. Perhaps next year I'll get my second wind and tell about the many findings I've come across in recent months, which ironically are too many to count, as there are so many unfinished reports to share. I'm very grateful for your kindness at this Holiday time!

BTW, here's a burn-in adventure you might like to try:

1. Now that the Oyaide DR-510 is nominally fully burned-in via your cable cooker, unplug the cable from your gear and plug it in "backwards" (in reverse) and take a listen to it. You might find it interesting to listen and hear if it sounds somewhat different that way (make a mental note of it for audio memory purposes).

2. Then, plug the cable into your cable cooker in reverse and let it burn-in for a day or two.

3. After that, connect the cable to the cable cooker in the proper directional orientation and let it cook for the same amount of time when the cable was was cooked in reverse.

4. After that burn-in session, give the cable a rest overnight (about 15 hours), then place the cable back into your system and play highly dynamic music with lots of harmonically rich instrumentation for 15-24 hours on repeat in order for the dielectric to relax a bit and help the cable settle back into your system.

You might be surprised how much more open the presentation may sound, or simply enjoy the audiophile meditation involved in such an adventure ;-D

Cheers, Duster
