Cables "Burn In"

Pbb, I understand your point on the last sentence of your post---I posted my response to Famaraca in Portuguese and it didn't get posted (I knew it wouldn't). Doesn't matter, I emailed it to him...

What I am going to write you're not going to like it--but "truth is a virus":

You lack good hearing--either clinically and/or cultivated.

I bought a pair of used Tice interconnects and I noticed the sound opening up after a few hours of play. At first I thought this was weird--weren't they TPT treated? I called George Tice and he told me I was hearing right--that it would take about 5 days for an old interconnect to open up.

If I can hear that imagine my reaction after Sean cooked some of my interconnects on his modded Mobie! Truly an amazing difference--even on my digital cable.

BTW, I am strongly anti-Voodoo--just read my analog posts defending a true turntable against the cult crowd.

I told you...

Too bad you can't hear---I didn't say it with any derogatory meaning--just the plain truth.

It's not good that you're taking this personal. I approached cable cooking with an open mind and gave Sean interconnects of which I had duplicates. I was able to keep a control set of two brands of rather similar design and construction (I *am* a scientist, BTW). The results were more than subtle.

I emailed Sean that his cable cooker is a threat to the cable industry. From what I understand, the better the cable, the less dramatic the effect of cooking, so maybe $600-$800 a meter interconnects will show very slight improvement versus cheaper ones...
