I would agree that some break-in time is needed. I usually ask the manufacturer of the products I use. Kind-of one size doesn’t fit all. However with a power cable it will continue to break in as long as the component is powered up. No music needs to be played, from what TheCableCompany stated. Only signal carrying cables need playing time for best break-in. I cant speak to which cable will outperform whom. Good luck with your Blizzard.
