I quit visiting the Dynaudio speaker thread a couple years ago due to the overabundance of arrogance/snobbery and downright silliness. Today, popped in to see if things had changed and this is what I saw:
"I will add a bit of “Naim recommendations”,it is a good practice to occaisionlly unplug/re-plug in all your power chords,and interconnects.This will help clean off any oxidisation,and freshen up the contact area.Also,if using their Naim Fraim racks,which I do,you should disassemble it once a year,to re-torque all components that may settle over time,and make sure to dress all cables properly,
so no signal cables touch power chords,and with Superlumina,they MUST hang free."
Immediately followed by:
"Naim recommends that their amps should be switched ON all the time. New amps have toroidal transformers which take 48hrs to warm up and that's why you should have them plugged in and switched on all the time. Tyler said the reason most of the systems don't sound good the first day in audio shows is because it takes 24-48hrs for amps to warm up and produce good sound."
All of which was preceded by:
"My C1's sounded great right out of the box. After about 100 hrs they did sound pretty bad. At around 200 hrs they back to sounding real good again. At 350 - 400 hrs they finally sounded great."
Being a Dynaudio owner myself - I am ashamed.
