had a friend ask me if after you break in/burn in your cables are they more or less conductive? i would have to say less conductive, but not sure why? does anyone have a good answer?
The break in period depends on the conductor, conductor geometry, and dielectric. Ask any good cable designer; pay very little attention to free advice offered by those who quote introductory books as their source.
No doubt about it Texasdave. Way too many people have shared your experience. My Stealth Indra took over 200 hours to really hit their stride. Could be Marakanetz just doesn't have the gear or ear to hear the difference. Nice rhyme huh? :-)
NO NO NO. There is no "average" time for cable break in. It depends on the conductor, conductor geometry, and dilectric. It's different for all cables. Same thing with "biggest differences"; some are linear, others are not. Ask any cable designer. Your opinion is erroneous and misleading. Readers should take it as your opinion as it is not based on any empirical data.
>>I've most likely owned more gear and cables then most.<< Maybe most but not me. My post is correct; whether you agree with it or not is due to your lack of experience.
