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

Thanks, I'll let them run a few weeks and try them again. I've got ask how do you know which direction to break them in, there's no arrow. I just ran them in direction of the writing toward the speaker if that really matters.
Anyone run 2, 4s11 or a pair of them, (total 8 conductors)in shot gun form. If so I could order another set tomorrow. If 2 is better than one why not it's only another $20 and can break them in together and be done with it.
Thank boothroyd that all I need to know. I'm going to order some tomorrow and run it shotgun and see what happens. $1.18 a foot how can you go wrong. I'll break them in and compare to my AU24 SE and JPS superconductor 3 and if it even comes close I may rethink my spending on cable. While I'm ordering I may buy some to build interconnects and power if they offer it, any suggestions on which to buy, mostly due to curiosity and I have the parts laying around to do it, thanks everyone for your insight on these 4s11 cables.
