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.

Sure it does.  Send me $1000.00 and I will explain it to you.

Cheers!

Mr. Dill

I claimed that I can calculate the speaker cable cross section, by the Amp’s DF and cable length. The speaker (load) has nothing to do in that deal.
I still claim the same. Even better. I found that if you go over the board and get even a thicker cable, the sound won’t improve.

For you, I would recommend you to try it, and use the power cable as your cattle power cable, for ever! to deepen its burn in. the more you burn it in, the better it will sound. This is a very good deal for you.

It needs at least about a month of cooking on the barbecue at low heat.  Another 10db of bonus if you also soak it in King's original hawaiian pineapple bbq sauce during that time :-)

Depends on the cord...MIT Oracle or REV AC 2 from Joe Abrams may take a hundred hours or so due to parallel networks but mostly for wire and insulation to loosen up.  Everything sounds better after it’s been used awhile!
