Utter bullshit, anybody that says 16/44.1 audio is more than enough hasn't got any ears, period.

Obviously cables make a big difference, nobody says you need $ 2000/per foot ones though.

Burn-in period? Yes! I experienced it with my very own ears, most certainly with my Genelec 8040s, UA 6176 and even with my friggin' TEAC 'Retro' Boombox..... It's real, and the minute that I can't trust my ears anymore is the minute I retire....

(All you need is a POD, why bother with those dated, heavy, expensive and unreliable TUBE amps anymore, ya gotta be kiddin'......)
