Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
@morrowaudio Welcome to the party Mike.  Please provide us with test data to support your statement!  Measurements of wire resistance/inductance/capacitance, what the baseline is, ie before break in and how those metrics changed after break in?

@geoffkait You posted the Nobel prize quote as if it was you, yourself who one it.And for the record, I brought a gun to this fight, i'm tired of your ridiculous pseudoscience claims on these forums.  They are bad for this hobby we all enjoy and c...

@geoffkait Many of us are engineers on this forum, you make statements of FACT but provide NO proof.  As rldwv wrote:All us doubters are saying is "prove it". I don’t know how else you can prove it without a measurement. Most engineers embrace the...

@geoffkait Once again you have avoiding providing DATA/Documentation on your claims that wire is direction OR that it requires/benefits from break-in.  You make unrelated statements like below, claim you won the Nobel Prize (see quote below) but N...

@rldwv   WOW!  You already have me moving to a retirement home! :)As a FYI, I plan on taking my Dynaudio Contour 20's to the retirement home, I just hope they don't mind the JL subwoofer. :)I could not agree more with your comment:All us doubters ...

@rldwv  I do apologize for the recent "personal" attacks as you put it.I just got fed up with all the pseudoscience some members publish and it seens its on every discussion thread.  This hurts our hobby and confuses those of us who are not engine...

OMG!I don't think there is a Nobel Prize for pseudoscience and the fact that you would claim to have won a Nobel prize is as crazy as the products you are pedaling.  You do realize that any of us minions can simply query the list of winners??And o...

@geoffkait Please explain to us minions how a particle of light, a photon, can be transferred over copper (or silver for that matter)??   >>>>>>>Try to keep up with the conversation. I do not push my products but I’m always ha...

@geoffkait @hifiman51 A few years ago i replaced my existing cables with some slightly longer ones of the EXACT same brand and gauge. The existing cables had >1000 hours of use the new ones had none and I could NOT hear ANY difference between t...

@geoffkait >>>>Didn’t you get the memo? Maybe you were sleeping. You don’t need to be concerned with any signal travel in the “opposite direction,” only any signal travel toward your speakers, I.e., the correct direction. Follow?This i...

@geoffkait I forgot to ask, please provide us some actual (not from Audioquest) documentation on how wire directionality applies to an AC circuit?   
Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
@geoffkait I was waiting for you to chime in!1. Unplugging a cable destroys the delicate electrical/mechanical connection that took a long time to establish. So, going back and forth between cables proves nothing.So now you are moving the new cabl... 
Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
@hifiman5 I did not want to get into the details of how the cables were switched, ie blind or not but since you brought it up.  One of us would switch (or not switch) the cables when the other two were in another room.  When the switch was complet...

This is the biggest list of snake-oil, pseudoscience i have ever seen on this site.  1. Send them off to cryo lab. While many high end cables are cryod by the manufacturer, Cryoing twice is better. Once you get them back from the cryo lab give the...
