Cable Burn-In Question Interconnect & Speaker

With the known fact that Audio Cables (Interconnect & Speaker) benefit greatly from the Burn-In process...I see more Cable Retailers offering a Burn-In Service.

Curious, do most of you Hi-Fi experts prefer to burn the Cables in yourselves?

Or, do you pay the Cable Retailer to burn the cables before they are shipped to you?

Any information you can share would be greatly appreciated!

Please don't spout your nonsense as "known fact".

Cable "burn in" is used by cable manufacturers to convince buyers to keep cables that they would otherwise return.

This is a "known fact"

Hey Dave, I'm amazed my post even got through the approval :)

Cable burn-in is a touchy subject, so it is best not to state it as a "Known fact". I would probably rephrase it in a more neutral manner.

That being said, if I believed in cable burn-in, I wouldn't pay a dime for the cable manufacturer to burn them in. I would think that, if they felt it makes the cable sound better, they would burn-in their cables as a matter of course. Some manufacturers do.
