Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
I knew better not trying to respond to geoffkait directly because you never know when he will turn on you :-) 
Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
mitch2 brought up a good point.  I always thought for the last 20 years that my system was good enough until I added in a new component.  My system now is much better than it was 10years ago, but I still got a long way to go.  When does progress s... 
Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
Yeah, it's semantic.  I probably should have used the word "power". 
Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
I would agree with you.  Like I said, what I said is just theoretical.  Whether you can here the difference is well ... it depends on your system.

How do we define the flow of energy? Well energyis the product of V*I (voltage * current). So yousee that current is only one variable. Votlage isthe other variable. Now if you say energy flows frompoint A to point B then, the voltage at A is ...

In the world of some garden variety speakers can cost $50K and even at $100K, and a small monitors at around $10K, I appreciate that his top of the line 5A only costs around $12K.  I remember listening to his speakers at a show driven by some huge...

I won't believe in atom until I can squeeze them in my hands. 
Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
I need data on atom.  No data no atom.

Did they manage to perform Mr. Young experiment on labrats ... errr ... I mean lab engineers? I wonder whichdoor they engineers would have chosen? If the doorpainted with Ms. Kate Upton, I'd probably run throughthat door every time.What happened...

Just want to add one more variable to "directionality".  It's the propagation of energy.  The energy always goes from the source to the load, or in this case from the amp to the speakers, not the other way around.  Just like the energy goes from t... 
Let's talk power cords
Actually I did.  I agree that power cords make a difference because I had first hand experience.  I bought some beefy power cords and the sound becomes noticeably better - the soundstage becomes more stable, better separation, and the mass string ... 
Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
After a near death experience, I've thought about "directionality" and I think I may have to agree with geoffkait.  Yes, the cable is directional.  For example if you send a pulse from the source to the load, the pulse travels from the sender to t... 
Will the Thiel CS2.4 fit in my car?
I plan to fold down the back seat.  The Thiels is a bit narrow so I will place one on the side in the trunk length-wise.  The front passenger side should fit one. 
Will the Thiel CS2.4 fit in my car?
I once took a pair of Spendor S9 in my 1998 Accord, but the Accord is slightly bigger than my BMW 3's series.  So hopefully they'll fit.

We need some specific explanations.
