Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period.

Hi shkong78

Cables or any other part in the audio chain never stop burning in. That's just the nature of the 4 fundamental forces. That's why they're called interactions.

"I wouldn't want to purchase a cable that required 500 hours of use just as I hate it that so many speakers require 100s of hours to break in"

HEA probably shouldn't have stuck it's nose into physics to begin with. It's a weird little hobby full of folks who want "short term" prove it's sometimes blinding itself from the ongoing facts of nature. Putting break in times on anything audio is fools gold to begin with. "Audio" doesn't break in in 30 days, it matures in age just like everything else does in a universe of motion. HEA treats audio like a "Fixed" absolute, when in reality it's a huge variable.

HEA has created it's own little bubble and battles to stay inside of it, as the world matures around us, moving forward. It's like a time capsule for almost engineers. You know guys, an EE is not the same as a Physics Engineer, and an EE or PE that doesn't understood aging is not all that bright in a discussion about motion.

I guess the oddest part about visiting here sometimes is seeing so many who view Earth as sitting still with everything revolving around it, not being able to see that we are in motion among everything else in motion. 

As for me, I wouldn't purchase a cable unless I understood cables.

Hi durkn

Thanks for sharing your comments. Internet trolls have no place on these forums, they are in need of a life. I've done documented breakin for over 3 weeks non-stop playing of the same recording. I've been doing this style of breakin and referencing for well over 30 years.

As for the people that can't hear breakin...well...I guess they can't hear it. Nothing more can be said about it. For those of us who have mastered the art of burnin and the maturing of audio parts and pieces, it's a fun adventure.

One would think in a hobby of change one would enjoy the process but many of our fellow listeners have never made it beyond instant coffee. They sit on the sidelines and cheer or heckle but never get into the game. Their loss.
