Burn in period


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

It has been discussed endlessly. Assuming the cables and interconnects are of good quality as are the components, it does… pain in the butt… I have pursued high end audio for fifty years. You can see my systems, click on my ID.

You’ll get a collection of folk that do not acknowledge it,  half baked ideas why, and a few like me who have heard it hundreds of times, read lots of articles and decided there are just too many variables to concisely answer the question and accept it. I have an inexpensive Schiit system I use to break in power cords and interconnects.

I LOVE blue food.. blue soup… scrambled eggs…” We love Bridget, just the way you are”.

Measuring… forget it, your ears can clearly distinguish the difference. You would have to put together a pretty significant scientific study to isolate the parameters an measure them. But listening is simple and obvious.
