Burn in period


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

I really wish it wasn’t because it’s a PITA, and you don’t know what they’re going to end up sounding like and whether you’re going to end up liking them kong term,

I can’t stand dynamically restricted cables, and you don’t get the full macro and micro dynamic repertoire straight off the bat. Fact.

burn in time depends more on the dielectric than the conductor material. Teflon takes a long time. If you don‘t believe it take a set of interconnects with 500-1000 hrs on them and A/B them against a fresh set..

Some manufacturers will give you expected timeframes. No idea as to their accuracy.‘

ignore the armchair theorists
