Does Power Cord Require Burn-In To Sound Good?


I recently bought a new power cord but there isn’t much difference in sound quality between this new cord and the previous Wireworld Elektra 7 which it replaces. The cords are used on the DAC.

Any ideas if the cord needs to burn in to open up and sound better? It currently has about 5 hours on it and I think I prefer the sound quality of the previous cord which costs 10 times cheaper.

Any thoughts appreciated.

I don’t know what the return policy is, but assuming it’s 30 days, leave it in your system for 2 weeks, listen to a lot of your favorite music and then switch back. You should have a very good idea of whether you’ve improved the sound or not after that. But definitely give it a chance.  And remember, it's not about which cord is "better".  It's about which cord you prefer sonically in your system.  I had a Wireworld Aurora in my system for a while, but I found my old Black Mountain cord sounded better, so I packed up the Wireworld for another day.
