swapping IC's to demo and cardas's site sdvice.


i'm in the final stages of my xlr IC comparisons. was reading the cardas site's info and was surprised to find that moving the IC's around could require "more break-in"?.

they don't really specify what degree of movement effects the cables. simple removing the connection or new bends ect....

anyone have any input?. i don't yank and throw my cables around but they do get moved repeatedly during my demos/comparisons. only have one xlr connection so keeping all 3 IC's being compared "warm" is impossible.

am i reading too much into this? or do i need to come up with a plan that takes this into account?. should i be waiting x amount of time after a re-connection to make a determination?.

not a huge deal but i seem much more confident of a decision when my a vs b vs c comparisons are done one right after the other, with minimal time in between.

thanks

amazing that this has never occurred to me. after a moments thought...the advantages become obvious. duh!

living with the cable for a few days or week would give me a much better idea of what they do best (or i like best). also might help expose weakness/issue's that might not come up otherwise(this is what happened the first time i tried cable comparisons).

glad i come to you folks with my questions. also nice that most of you don't mind helping a greenhorn out.....even with the obvious.

cheers
