Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
I have heard some say that speaker cables do need a 'burn in', and some say that its totally BS.
What say you?

blueranger, Maybe people thought your question was rhetorical and not true question asking for an answer. You gave the answer in the first part of your sentence and did not end it with "?" which is the usual sign to let others know it is a question. Speaking of dodging questions, have you ever seen a metal burn? |
Burn in is just a name that people describe what they hear in wires changing in sound. It could be better called by some scientific name years from now. How about neutrino electrical alignment. Don't pick on me for choosing that word. Its just an example off the top of my head. Science will give it a better word in tbe future. |
blueranger, "It could be better called by some scientific name years from now."No need to wait for years. You already gave one suggestion. Sometimes, it is better to call things the way they are and not what seems mysterious. Many things on these threads are just like "burn-in". Even if it exists, it is wrong. Nothing is burning, especially not anyone's ears. If someone would constantly call you a greenranger, you would, at some point, say "what is wrong with you". |
"The existence of a neutrino mass allows the possibility of a tiny neutrino magnetic moment, in which case neutrinos could interact electromagnetically as well; no such interaction has been discovered.[32]Β " I just pulled thatΒ from WIKI with only 5 mins time. Not as proof but just an example of the many things that haven't been discovered yet. Proven or unproven |
Whatever way you can lead the new naming is fine, as long as it is a logical one. It is, kind of, funny to read about "things that haven't been discovered yet". For now, they are just a fantasy. Once they get discovered, they become a "thing". I do not doubt that someone may, one day, explain many things we are arguing about here. Including "burn-in" of the speaker cables. The tricky truth for half of the participants is that someone may disprove it, too. For now, it is "it will be discovered" as an indisputable truth. Many things in science have been finally discovered, but many have been discovered to be hoaxes, so to say. I hope to live to see the unraveling of the "burn-in" enigma. |
Maybe glubson should call NASA or AES or MIT and see if theyβd be interested in getting involved in researching cable burn in. In fact I nominate glubson to be the official cable burn in coordinator. Be sure and report back when you have the answer. π¨βπ And while youβre at it see if they can get to the bottom of fuse directionality, why cryogenics improves the sound, and why premium fuses improve the sound. Weβre all dying to know. |
nonoise: when I was a kid my stepdad used to drag race at New England Dragway (Ford GT500), as it was called then and I got to hang in the pits. Very educational. I do recall one event where some pro stock car had magnesium wheels (real mag wheels, he he!) and the beads diameter on those rear tires must have been too large or something because on take off, the rims spun in the tires and ignited the wheels and they burned baby! What colors, what smell! Truly Hot Wheels! The mad scramble to put that out was a calamitous riot. Needless to say that guy lost that heat and his nice car looked like ----. And twoleftears: Higgs boson does exist, at least there's evidence for it, but it's hard to pin these subatomic particles down as to location in time and space, which brings us back to SchrΓΆdinger's cat,Β which we'll never know if it's alive or dead, which bring us to back to maritime...say something maritime's kitty... |
geoffkait, "And while youβre at it see if they can get to the bottom of fuse directionality, why cryogenics improves the sound, and why premium fuses improve the sound."Those answers are all over the place. Once you are ready for them, I will tell you what they are. "And he does it so well. But heβs a two trick pony."You are half-right. I really do it so well. The rest is not call "tricks". It is called "art of wisdom". Or "wisdom of art", if you prefer it that way. |
After reading from all here who find that cables need βburned-inβ IΒ am sure glad I purchased a Cable Cooker years ago I just condition them for 3-5 days (depending on the cable) play them in my system for about a day and then I donβt have to worry about it because the sound doesnβt really change - you get what you get |
