Conditioning/Burn-In Method


DISCLAIMER
Potentially controversial subject matter ahead. Thus post is recommended for mature audiences only. If you're in the school of thought that cables are voodoo, this post is not for you, please move among.

Now, to business.

I'm in the process of working in a set of Signal Cable Silver Resolution XLR interconnects between my DAC, Preamp and Amplifier. So far, I probably have only 20 hours or so of play, and if memory serves, Frank recommends 60 hours or more. Given the difference in amplitude from DAC to Preamp, and from Preamp to Amplifier, do you guys think it might be worth swapping them out (rotating them) to help balance and perhaps accelerate the process?

Thanks in advance!

If you don't have a cable cooker, just sit back, relax, and enjoy the music as others have suggested.
@parabolic, if you are just breaking in interconnects and speaker cables you don't need any volume, just the signal. Are you trying to break in new speakers also?
I apologize if I missed something here?
Best regards...
@parabolic, I’ll burn-in your speaker cables for you on my Audiodharma Cable Cooker which I’m currently using and will be in the future. It’s not like it’s going to cost me more for electricity to add your speaker cables LOL.
All I’d ask is that you pick up the cost of shipping both ways.
