Do speaker cables need a burn in period?

Wow! That was fast! You’re on the ball today, bus boy. 🚌

🐈💩😱

In all this bickering thread, has anyone actually burned in any cables lately? I’d love to see air as a dialectric get burned in. More popcorn please.

That’s why air is such a good dielectric, silly goose. It sounds good right out of the gate. Not everything takes the same period to burn in. Everyone knows that. 

🐈💩🔚

Are you hungry, bus boy? 🚌  Open wide, here comes Mr. Airplane. 

Nothing like the odor of fresh Kat 💩 to kill an appetite. 😖

Then why is your nose purple, bus boy? 

🐈💩😖

Is air burning?

I am burning-in cables right now with some Internet radio from far away. That helps as the signal collects more energy going under the ocean. Electric eel make wonders. I already hear much more rounded middle of the vocal mids in female singers. A few more years, and male voices will start getting shape.

Do I hear the soft refrain of dueling banjos? 😳

Better do what the man says, Kitty. 🙀

The devil will eventually be dead.

Better do what the man says, Andy. 🧟‍♂️

Because I can hear it plus many others. I'm just not embarrassed to say it

Can u measure a narrow soundstage?

🐈💩

Geoff: Now you’re talking my language! I wonder if there’s a dialectic with faster break in properties than air? Unobtanium? Dark matter? Event horizons?

And, is air directional?

That’s all he has in his head. 🐈💩

Air is definitely directional. Anyone who walked out around here today would tell you so. It did change directions from time to time, but was it windy.

A vacuum would be faster. Maybe Flyboy has some to spare. 🚌 😴

Nothing worse than the smell of Kat 💩 in the morning....😖

Just hold your nose whilst eating, Flyboy. Problem solved! 😛

🐈💩🙀😱😖

That’s interesting. If I recall correctly Michael Green of Tuning fame sometimes bakes cables and lots of other things in the oven, controlling temperature and time, obviously. I tried it with some CDs a few years ago and think I heard an improvement. I’ll try again today at 200 F for ten minutes maybe even twenty minutes. So, I guess you never know. Nothing says lovin’ like something from the oven. 🍪 🍪 🍪

of course, I would be remiss if I didn’t point out that the home freezer (48 hrs) can provide a big percentage of real cryo treatment, not only for metals but almost anything you can think of - CDs, LPs, CD players, cones, power cords, cassettes (!), Blu Ray discs, HDMI cables, etc.

🐈💩😖

Burn in is real. Ive heard it many times. And no we don't have the test equipment that can analyze not just what our ears hear but how the brain processes the information. How did this all start? Because people started hearing changes in the sound and the term burn in was coined. I can't make it more clear until we have sophisticated enough equipment that can test in the realm of our brain process. You just can't sweep all this under the rug.

Come on, boys, hit a thousand posts. You can do it. I'm rootin' for ya.

Oh, shoot, almost forgot, burn-in is real.

Cheers,

Scott

Apparently the devil got offended.  Interesting. 

👹💩🙀

This thread has descended to decadence, a sort of la docle vita.

🐈💩. Get thee behind me. 

You're doing it all wrong. 

Uh, we don’t do metaphysics, here, just Kat 💩. 

I think I am going to side with the non-believers.
I found out that there is a cable burn in devil
behind of this bs. The devil has been able to command
all the cable manufacturers and millions of audiophiles
around the world to perpetuate this burn in myth.
The non-believers should be admired for standing up
to this evil.

Geoff: Now you’re talking my language! I wonder if there’s a dialectic with faster break in properties than air? Unobtanium? Dark matter? Event horizons?

What does Marx have to say about their electrical properties?

Dialectical materialism, or the angle of the dangle is....🐈💩

Karl Marx being a communist, naturally he would like
to things that can commune together, like getting along.
In that sense all these - air? Unobtanium? Dark matter?
Event horizons? should have a common origin therefore
they should follow the same burn in principle.

Didn't Marx say cable makers will sell the cables that we will hang them with? Their necks will show evidence of burn in.

Marx quotes,

“Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.”

“I've had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn't it.”

“I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception.”

Lee Deforest quote: 🐈💩🤧

What is the meaning of this thread again?

🐈💩😷🤧

The meaning of this thread is to learn as much as we can about speaker cable burn-in. We are getting there. Progress is slow, but I am not losing hope. It has been getting more interesting over the last 20-30 posts.

Karl Marx, allegedly, did not wash himself that often. 

blueranger,

Can u measure a narrow soundstage?

You may be asking this question on wrong forum. I suspect that the forum inhabited by guys who invented those ambiance modes many receivers and cell phones have had for the longest time would be a better place to ask. Those guys might have figured out some mathematical way to make you feel that soundstage is narrow, wide, etc. Maybe they also have an idea how to measure it. You know those modes "stadium", "church", "jazz club", and so on. They do not base that on cable burn-in so maybe there is a way around it. It may be worth asking if they know how to measure it. Here, we can discuss Engels, excretory functions, and some other topics.
