While I haven't experienced nor believe in this claim, Audioquest makes a living out of this. Their constant, 48V/72V bias pre-conditions/polarises the dielectric or something

No need for name calling. He is welcome to his opinion, even if he thinks it is fact.

Read the definition, then read his posts, and then tell me that I was out of line.

I meant there will be no SQ changes. That's what i meant.
BUT even if you misread or i misprint or you simply projected your fantasies on what i was trying to say...whatever.
Why did you call me a "moron"?

I read it as if the OP asked if it would be possible to place a senn cable on the grados- to which you replied "no".

So I took it as you thought it would be physically impossible to solder on a senn cable to his grados. Now obviously that is wrong- so if I thought you meant that, then you would be lacking some basic intelligance- that is where "moron" comes in.

If you miss type, or I miss understood what he meant by "is it possible?", then I would have been out of line. To that I apologize. IF however, you meant what I originally thought, then I take nothing back.

How'd you think, for guy who recabled more headphones than you have letters in your nickname, is it makes any sense to think that putting Senn cable on Grado cans is impossible?
Anyway, we're in deep offtopic.

I had a strange thing happen this morning...I made some toast, but left it for a while when I took a shower. When I went to eat my toast, it had reverted to plain old wheat bread!

Merriam-Webster

Definition of moron:

1usually offensive : a mildly mentally retarded person2: a very stupid person

Seems neither poster is worthy of this reference.

Stop making fun of the OP, if you don't use the electrons for long enough they get tired and don't feel like passing charges. Realistically your electrons need at LEAST 8 hours of sleep a night though, but no more or they'll get overtired. Don't let your cables be unused for more than 8 hours, otherwise your music will slow down.
