Love the comments! Hilarious. I am not sure about cables having to “break in” to sound their best. It could be simply that it’s our ears & mind getting accustomed to the new sound?? No doubt cables of all types in a system sound differently from brand to brand & model to model & of course the law of “diminishing returns” applies greatly to this.
For those of you who think cables don’t need to “break in” to sound their best, explain why most amps sound much better after they’re warmed up for an hour or two? I’ll bet they would measure the same from the moment you turn them on. Rogers tub integrated amp is a very well made, high quality product & I’ve noticed even after it’s warmed up that the sound changes when it’s playing for a few songs. That said, I’m also using new speaker wire….. life’s mysteries…..
