Cable Break-in....again?

I recently purchased a used set of cables. According to the prior owner, the cables had been given roughly 120 hours of play time (the required break-in time according to the manufacturer). However, it seems that once I install the cables in my system, I can hear them break-in again, as if they were new.

Do you think that once a cable (either speaker or interconnect) has been disconnected for a period of time, they require another break-in period?

When no energy ,power, current ,motion ,vibration is happening then your cable becomes dumb. Did you read the analogy about the mint car vs the taxi. The reason my stuff is on 24/7(playing not stand-by) is that the vibratiion is in the groove. Now I have learned how to tune all inside my room ,including my gear. So now that my stuff is on and prime ...when I change something I can hear something.When your stuff is static in a universe that moves then you have lousy sound. Like a mint car that won't move...goes to hell.

Sorry guys I forgot that i had posted here.

I read if they were not used after burn in,they dont
need longer burn in, compare to the new one.In my
experience its true.
The problem is you need to apply to learn the truth in your universe. If you read and assume then you get confusion ....or audiogon.

C5150, I enjoyed your trancendental view of this hobby. I smell a new book in there somewhere!
It's pure science . If your car goes to heck ...it's decaying. Why if it stays motionless, by my account it will literaly disappear before your eyes. Do you know why it does't just vanish. The earth is rotating at more than 1000 mph just to go around once 24 hours.The earth goes around the sun at 66000 mph to complete a cycle of a year. The milky way is moving at 70000mph on top of that. So your car isn't totatly still is it. This your wire makers and engineers never will consider. They went to school of one reality.

.
in other words you are the one breaking in not the gear.

Actually your are with your perceptions taking in new info...and matching it against your recall to see what has changed.Change will persist. Your reality is now different. The guy who reads and assumes and never does anything( plug and play)... never can get a new info ,or reality going. All he can share with you is the same old.The thing is the same OLD is decaying and he gets bored with it. So by buying a new component can he get a new reality . Or you can learn to tune and constantly change the realty yourself.CREATE in other words. you have to live it to .....
