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.

So says you.

All one needs to do is consider the source.

Because the definition of an "audiophile" is subjective. Often, an audiophile is one who says: "...and if I spend that much money I KNOW it will sound better!
Why is it the fallback position on practically any debate or argument on cables is one of a binary nature, that being, obscenely priced cables vs. zip cord, when it was never brought up to begin with? Is that all you've got?

Maybe I should have qualified it by asking it this way: Why is that people with a grudge and an agenda masquerade as audiophiles and get their sadistic kicks haunting and trolling audiophile sites?

Here's a excerpt of a link from a very well respected recording engineer on what he terms HLO (hard lined objectivists):

The whole article is worth a read as the main thrust of it (problems in op amp chips) allies to all aspects of audio reproduction in

In a nutshell, it's really resentment about the money that was spent and it irks them that they can't spend what they don't have.
