Do ixos cables need burn in time?


I just bought Ixos 6003 gamma speaker wire. I am not completely satisfied with certain aspects of the sound, specifically the highs. Will they get better with time? I have been using them for about a week? I was thinking of getting new wire. Maybe I should give it some more burn-in time.

What about the highs don't you like?? At $1.49 per foot, it is kind of hard to fault this cable. I've demo'd it and found it a big improvement over generic (monster type) cable which is the only thing cheaper. How is the 6003 terminated (What kind of ends)??


I would tread slowly here. Compared to generic cable the 6003 is more revealing. It could possibly be telling you about something else in your system is off in the highs (CD, Amp, other interconnect cables, etc).

What is the rest of your system composed of? Going further up the ladder is only going to make things more revealing. All cables need some burn-in. I still use the 6003 in a high-end receiver based system in my work office.
