break in question


after "breaking in" interconnect or speaker cables between two components, is it advisable or necessary to repeat the break in process when changing the component interface ?

it has been suggested to me that the process of breaking in a cable really entails "acclimating" the link between components to a particular cable. thus when you create another link with the same cable between 2 different components, the break in process should occur again.

I don't think I'd lose too much sleep over this. Once the cable has had several "heat up" and "cool down" sessions (basically a mechanical settling of the cable), it's hard to imagine *why* it should make any difference what is connected on either end. It's not like the electrons need to feel comfortable with the new equipment...
