... what is Settling Time in cables and interconnects...


Hello to all...

Was reading on a cable/interconnect manufacturers' site that they recommend min 350 preferrably 450 hrs Burn-In time, and 2 to preferably 24 hrs Settling Time (after plugged and unplugged).

Have never heard the term Settling Time: what is it, how is it done, what effect would it have if done or not done, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY - would like to hear from someone who has actually done this and your impressions...

THANKS!

I have found owning a Audiostore in the U.K  that the dielectric 
type and thickness much more so dictates breakin then thewire itself.Teflon by far the biggest offender as the same thing applies 
in Teflon capacitors especially VH Audio for example.
3-400 hours is usually sufficient .
digital can take sometimes longer because of  the small amount of voltages applied.
