Anyone familiar with Canare 4s11 speaker wire sound and break in time

Hi, I just bought some canare 4s11 for a second system. My main speaker cables are Audience au24 and in another system TG Audio or also known as Bob Crumps silver solid core wire. I've heard the break in can be long. I hooked them up last night they sounded pretty good but now its gone south so I hooked it up to a receiver in a spare room and running in 24/7. I've heard 250 hours to 500.

I know it's very inexpensive wire but heard a lot of good things for the money, and just wanted to give it a try, hell $1.18 a foot free shipping. It is going to be used with tube pre and amp and tube dac streaming only. What are you impressions of this wire and did you find break in long and does it change back and forth during break in? Thanks for any insight

I have owned canare cables a long time ago and a solid reasonably priced cable.

Con are It’s decent for the money but nothing special vs upper end cables like Wireworld Eclipse which is well balanced and on the low side for Med priced Audiophile cables.

I had that before I just let it run for a week  175 hours.
if you truly want to enhance your whole system clean all contacts off with isopropyl alcohol, then a great new contact enhancer Which too Rick Schultz of High Fidelity Audio cables 2 years to develop the 1260- 3D contact enhancer under Acessories 
on Audiogon they now sell small bottles $349 delivered ,enough to do 2 fully systems easily, you even use for power cords ,truly makes even modest systems sounds much better throughout ,just give a week runin , I have been using fir 2 months now on a reference setup and. Smaller $4 k setup a Very noticeable upgrade.A no brainer in value per $$ spent !!
