Do dormant cables need "RE" Broken In? If so how long can they sit dormant?

Personally I believe new cables need a break in period, if anything, for my ears to get used to the sound difference. 

One buys a vintage cable that has not been used for years (My Case), A cable in storage, or a current cable connected where one has not used that component for some time..................how long can a cable sit before it needs "re broken -Iin" or does the initial, new break-in is all that is needed for the life of the cable?

 

Just curious if there are any rules of thumb amongst cable experts.

I have to agree with you. The Monster M2.2's (Dormant for many years) that I purchased have been playing daily for a couple of week's now and I swear things are opening up even more. Could be my ears...however, I was doing some serious listening last night and I swear the cables are sound better than the week before. I keep the stereo on quite a bit for background listening.
