In my experience, if it sounds like crap when you insert it into the system, no amount of burn in time will help.
Break In Time for Nordost Norse 2 lines
I've gotten the Nordost Frey 2 and Tyr 2 interconnects. I'm wondering what others have found about the burn-in time. I've spoken to Nordost, who told me 7-10 days, but while it sounded great, the upper midrange and treble were quit hard and bright even after that.
I'm no newcomer to Nordost: I've had Frey, Tyr, Valhalla interconnects (still have a Valhalla interconnect and ALL the original power cords and Valhalla speaker cable as well, but I'm wondering - from the experience of users - how long they found it took to settle down. Mine took a few weeks, but I wasn't aware of it right away, due to a family member becoming quite ill. By the time I'd returned to the system, I noticed it wasn't hyped up on top, but I'd put in another carpet, which over damped the sound, so that skewed my conclusions.
