Should interconnects stay put for best transfer??


I have a really nice set of Ecosse Maestro 2 interconnects that i have been jockying around from component to component.I have heard some mention that this is not the best idea as the cable need to settle it to what you have them plugged into.Is this accurate or is this statement overblown?I also have some straightwire but i have several components to hook up and really liked the sound of the ecosse but it was pricey(at least for me it was).So i have been trying to be careful and move it around as i listen to different units.Just was wondering if this is a really bad idea.Yeah i know PHYSICALLY it isn't the best but i am talking sonics here.
THANKS !!

Connections that remain intact for a long period of time are prone to introducing distortion. I'm not saying that one should loosen and re-connect their cabling at every listening session, but simply pulling and re-seating the connections can sometimes be of benefit.

As far as moving / bending cabling goes, just be careful and don't bend / kink the cable. Gentle movement with very soft radiuses will do the least damage and allow the cable to perform at its' best for a long time to come. Sean
