Cable Burn In
OP - Cable burn-in is indeed "a thing". Here is a thread from 2003...yes it was a thing way back then as well. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/cable-quot-burn-in-quot?highlight=cable%2Bburn%2Bin |
OP - shadorne and the other measurers insist that if you can't measure it you won't hear it...you might convince yourself you did, but what the hell do your ears know? I mean really who are your ears to tell your brain what sounds are entering them. Much better to have a man-made device measure sounds which your inferior organic listening devices can not perceive. Sheesh! If you are a "measurer" then so be it. You will be happy in your paradigm and that is absolutely fine! My organic listening mechanism is more important to me than a man-made measuring device.👂👂 The decision? Which listening mechanism do you want to trust to deliver the truth of your system to you? |
@n80 I'm not sure what you might have learned from this thread except that there are those who do believe in cable burn-in and those who don't. I can't see how it hurts you to be open to it. If you hear no difference after time passes, you've lost nothing. If you do perceive an improvement in the openness of your sound then yippee! One last thought. In the end, the issue is informed by your world view. If you believe that every phenomenon we experience in life is quantifiable then the intangibles will never matter to you. In my case, I've experienced too many phenomena that I would have no scientific explanation for to believe that there are not things happening in highly resolving audio systems that is beyond our ability to quantify. Enjoy the journey! |
OP - You said, "Again, I think this implies that your world view requires you to be on an extreme end of every issue." All I said is to be open to things that may or may not be explainable or measurable. I don't believe at being on the extreme end of audio issues. If you want to talk about being "extreme" I would consider the "everything is quantifiable" stance to be the extreme position.🤔 |
