Do speaker cables need a burn in period?

Hey geoffkait,
Since you’re on the Dielectric thingie now, maybe it would help if you knew the Definition if the term?   
di·e·lec·tric/ˌdīəˈlektrik/PHYSICSadjectiveadjective: dielectric

1. 1. having the property of transmitting electric force without conduction; insulating.

nounnoun: dielectric; plural noun: dielectrics

1. 1. a medium or substance that transmits electric force without conduction; an insulator.

Capacitors use Dielectric material that blocks DC (Direct Current), and passes Alternating Current (AC), also known as Audio Electrical signals.  There IS NO Dielectric material in Copper Speaker Cables, so I really don’t follow your point?  But please keep believing all the Bullshit that Cable companies, and Their Advertisers spew to get Suckers to buy there $200/Ft Speaker Cable!  “A fool and his money are soon parted”

Discrete components like Resistors, Capacitors and Semiconductors definitely need burn in. And Burn-in in the electronics industry is done to isolate and identify failures, as most defective components will fail within the first 24 hours. However Copper does not! Copper is a natural element, and it’s physical and electronic characteristics don’t change, simply because you pass current through it. All speaker cables do is move electrons from one atom to another when there is a difference of potential (voltage) applied. There is NOTHING to burn in, PERIOD! BTW, I have an education in Electronics and 40 years in the Audio Industry. This false theory is nothing more than Marketing Mumbo Jumbo created by Dishonorable people to sell crap  (Overkill Speaker Cables) to unsuspecting, uneducated victims!
