alphacore users break in question

Thanks everyone. I checked the Alphacore site and they claim no break in needed. My dealer on the other hand is insisting that there is a substantial break in period. I guess time will tell. Im going to give them a couple hundred hrs and report back. I will check in to the Zoebels as well.

Thanks again

Thanks for the responses. I am using Vandersteen 3A sig with stereo 2WQs. Amps are Parasound JC 1s. As I stated before the Alphacore MI2 I demoed were fantastic. The demo cables had no extra networks or capacitors. Sound is slow with very little mid bass. Midrange is harsh and distorted. Sound stage is small and flat. No life at all. If these cables are not going to get better with break in they are a huge dissapointment at the 30' length, especially given my excellent experience with the demo cables.

Thanks

I just wanted to give an update. After 100 hrs I am pleasantly surprised to say the MI2 cables are sounding very good. They still are not quite there but I am confident they will continue to break in and get better. I guess it all boils down to system synergy and room acoustics since I am having very different results from all who were kind enough to respond. In my system in my room the improvement has been monumental after 100 hrs. Like going from zip cord to high end cable. That drastic.

Sorry, I just realized I used the dreaded "S" word in my last post.
