Re: Audiophoolery. 'Cable Break In' - I never knew that!
Rumbling along in the background, almost out of sight, is the intended purpose of this forum. It exists to provide help to people repairing and restoring vintage electronics - the name makes that clear. At the same time it is creating an archive of knowledge to help those doing the same in the future when no-one is left with experience of the equipment in its native era. The steering actions of the moderators (apart from matters of contention and legal issues) can be seen to work towards the creation of a better archive.
This thread doesn't contain any actual information to aid a future restorer, though it may explain the context of some very silly hardware to a befuddled archeologist in AD2217. With our help, he'll write a definitive treatise comparing little wooden stands for speaker cables with powdered rhino horn.
No, this thread is a bit of fun and stress relief for the denizens of the forum. It keeps some of the frippery out of the archive-grade threads so it has an indirect benefit. If storage space ever gets tight, it's a candidate for the first bit of ballast to get heaved overboard.
