Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period.


Almost all the audio equipment including speaker need burn in time.

But I had bad experience with one digital cable recently.

Some people blew the horn on it and claimed burn in time more than 100 hours.

Out of box it had lot of details but etched.

After 8 weeks (around 200 hours) it got little bit better but its overall performance is not better than other digital cable that I have had.

Now it is too late to return it.

Beware of any cable claiming more than 50 hours of burn in time.

The chance is high that you will waste your time and money.

So I’ll keep this short.  I would love for someone to show me the science behind the “burning” in of your cables.  Perhaps I don’t have the ear that some of you claim to have with all of your whimsical descriptions of sound however I can’t possibly believe that there is some mystical metallurgical process occurring with these low electrical currents. 
Hmmm....So how does the signal or current help shape the sound if it’s the dielectric you are claiming needs to be broken in?
Thank you....but I am very well aware that different dielectrics have varying properties when different signals are applied... we can throw in temperature for all matters of this discussion as well.  What we are hearing is very subjective.  I’ve seen some horrible cabling (and it was not high end wire) in high end electronics which sounded great in my opinion. What might sound good to you may not sound so good to me.  There is a point of no return on the cost.  Sorry ...tough to hear the time or cost of burn in.
