Burn in period


Why would a copper speaker cable or rca interconnect need a burn in period.?  Are they really directional?

I’m surprised that I’ve never seen a video where someone puts a microphone in front of the speakers with new cables, measures the frequency response and then does it again when the cables are broken in. I’ve heard some pretty big changes after break in, which I would think would have to show up somewhere in the speaker output spectrum. Maybe everyone’s been measuring in the wrong place. As Amir is so fond of saying - we don’t stick the wire in our ear and listen. All that matters is what comes out of the speaker.
