system is in correct phase, transients will be noticeably cleaner and
more sharply defined. The effect is especially apparent on plucked
string sounds. A final warning-not all recordings are phase correct
(including some "audiophile" recordings), so listen to several before
concluding your investigation of absolute phase.
THE IMPORTANCE OF WIRES
Interconnect and speaker wires are an important element in your stereo
system. Interconnects are available which will permit a reference quality
system to blossom and fulfill its promise of musical reality. Others will
strangle the system to the point where it becomes no better than
average. To complicate matters, our experience suggests that the
choice of interconnects will be system dependent- those that are ranked
first on a given system may be a poor choice for a different system.
Consult your conrad-johnson dealer for recommendations for your spe-
cific system.
TIP
Warm up the Evolution 20 before listening: The sonic performance of
the Evolution 20 improves noticeably as the unit warms up. The mid-
range becomes more lucid, the highs smoother, and the soundstage
expands. The warm up period can be expected to last several minutes.
Questions: If you have questions about the installation or function of
your Evolution 20 do not hesitate to call Customer Service at (703)
