I use LS3 , But i do use NVA amps. It was much better than 8 or 9 i had used before .
on a point of fact .LS1 and LS6 use the same raw cable , LS6 as more strands of the cable and additionally 28 strands off silver cable .
LS2 is not strictly speaking an NVA cable [ ie - it does not use the raw cable used in all but tis cables ] It is the cheapest cable sold and it is actually and electrical installation cable . It is sold to new amp buyers to get them started in view of nva' insistance for purpose of warranty that nva cable is used .

But just to add to the debate , what about transistor thermal shock
does the constant reheating cooling from on/off mechanisms not outweigh the permanently charged effects in your opinion
or capacitor charge induced stress.
once again issues arsing out of constant on/off .
there are surely consequences and effects of both decisons and a one is right one is wrong is surely inaccurate .
dogma is the enemy of knowledge .

Well reasoned and argued post thier Jez , I particularly liked the evidence offered It's a statement of the facts. I won't be debating it or providing any evidence. If being a professional Electronic Engineer specialising in Hi Fi equipment and with a life time of experience ain't enough then tough Then you wish people to take you at your word and that is of course your prerogative. Me , I take only one persons word for anything , my own . I will of course bear your comments in mind if/when I eventually draw my own irrevocable conclusion , but i have to say it will not be anytime soon as it is a low priority for me

All equipment should be turned off when not in use. Simples. There is nothing to debate about it and much bollocks talked about it ("my amp is designed to be left on" No it's not!) Hopefully many will continue to ignore this though as it gives me a steady income repairing stuff that has been left on 24/7! Well reasoned and argued post thier Jez , I particularly liked the evidence offered

I have upgraded 3 amps and a phono stage with black gates . waste of time and money
i had a rotel phono stage chock full of black gates , it was bettered by the cambridge audio in my hif .
i will not be experimenting with them for the rest of my life .

Yes, on or soon after the first would be good. If you are likely to be busy then create the post as a pm and sent it to one of the mods or admin folks and we'll post it for you as Martin did this month for Paul. Ta , that is what I will do .

We're do manufactures supply life expectancy figures of capacitors?

With supermarkets being open 24/7 7 days a week why have they got doors? To keep the rain out . Occupiers Liability Act 1957- An occupier must take all reasonable steps to ensure invited visitors are not placed at foreseeble risk of injury .

Yes martin but your experience leads you to believe £800 mains leads and £100 fuses have beneficial effects on SQ and thus I am somewhat skeptical in making generalizations upon it and when i say this I make no claims to accuracy or truth , merely as humans we subjectively assess the information given to us with reference to what we know about the person giving it and thereafter assess it accordingly .

not sure what saying something empirical is ?
however , I must be more intelligent that i give myself credit for [ and i give myself a lot of credit ] if a man of your empirical experience is unable to take issue with anything I have said in what as always are my very opinionated posts .

A 30 year old fruit machine would be have been on for 15 hours plus 7 days a week and for 20 of them would have been in smoked filled room .
I also hope the caps in my power amp are manufactured better than those in a fruit machine .
the last point you makes reinforces the point I made in my first post , well made caps not constantly used with a small fraction of their tolerances will probably last a human life time .

You can understand something without having actual empirical experience .
I understand the consequences of calling a circuit judge a cock in court , I have not actually done it.
thus to say you understand "capacitors dry out" is not the same as saying in my experience I have seen capacitors dry out .
I also note once again that advocates of re-capping are a little hazy on its actual benefits and causal mechanisms at work which will give these benefits .

You are 65 well bugger me I thought you were 21.
With respect understanding is not y the same as empirical experience.

Perhaps some types of capacitor do last "for ever", but as I understand things electrolytic capacitors can "dry out" over a period of time even if the equipment is not used.
I also understand that if electrolytic capacitors are unused for a length of time they ideally need "reforming" before the equipment is reactivated.
To me a bulging capacitor is an explosion waiting to happen and I would replace such items promptly. Your claim to knowledge is " as I understand" thus the question is how do you understand perhaps you are simply repeating what you have read , which in turn was written by some one with a vested interest . A slingers post points out most treated kindly should last a bloody long time . However , what is most illuminating is that those who argue for a finite life span very rarely - if at all - advise chorently what age does to a capacitor and how this effects the SQ of your amp .
