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 used internal biwire 4S11 for a while - I thought they sounded good off the bat and enjoyed them.  Great bang for the buck.
@audioman58 I agree there are upgrade options. 

In my upgrade path, I tested Audioquest Rocket 44s and Kimber 12 TCs. 

The Rocket 44s and 12 TCs demonstrated to me cables made a different but not in a good way.  I appreciated how Kimber treated me so I tested out the Bifocals and I couldn't give them back.  I gave my brother the Canare 4S11s so he could enjoy them.  

I view Canares as a toyota or honda - they are quality and provide consistent performance.  If you want a Mercedes, Porshe or Rolls you will pay more but not everyone wants or needs that 'more'.
