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.

"Invoking"? Face it bub, you didn’t invoke, you used.

It seems your last few posts show a distinct lack of listener skills and audio experience, while your writing skills are poor even when it comes to throwing insults, which seems to be your main reason for being here.

Not sure how you’re set up there but usually there’s a mouse or touch pad or sometimes touch screen, that can be used to click on over to other websites more appropriate to your particular sort of inclination. Wherever it is, I think you will be happier there. We sure will.
Hate to tell you, if it doesn't sound good right out of the box send it back. Yes burn-in is real. But it won't turn a sow's ear into a silk purse. What it will do, if the cable is any good then it will sound terrific right out of the box, and then improve a lot as it burns in. If it sounds worse than what you have, at 10X the price, send it back. Do not wait. Do not listen to any cockamamie stories. Just send it back.
