| Skeptic or just plain hard headed The method I’m using to burn it in is I have the cable connected between my little sonos connect and a sound bar playing a Playlist from my Apple Music library on repeat. So it’s connectedd as a line level input between two devices that are using... | |
| Skeptic or just plain hard headed @dorkwad Bob. I do tend to agree. After burn in if the first 200 hours the cable did IMO show some signs of improvement. Still not enough to top the cable I have currently but indeed It did make a difference. I said early on that I am only looking... | |
| Skeptic or just plain hard headed @taiye none taken. How about a fool that refuses to learn remains a fool. | |
| Skeptic or just plain hard headed @ivan_nosnibor Ivan my man that was long 😁. I skimmed through it and get what your saying. I will read it in the morning. It’s time to show the wife a little love for the rest of the day as I have been playing with this since I got off work. I wi... | |
| Skeptic or just plain hard headed Ok gang here is the results of my first listening test after 200 hours of burn in:I figured I would try and use something for a non subjective test first. So I measured average and peak SPL of 2 songs just to see if there is any difference in ampl... | |
| Skeptic or just plain hard headed Oh 💩. . Man I can’t wait to tell y’all this. Still got to listen to one more song. Very I tersting | |

| Skeptic or just plain hard headed @geoffkait i am not trying to make that much of a profound statement. Not yet anyway. Maybe IF and it’s a big if there is a difference that peaks my interest to venture down that path sure. For now let’s just see if there is any difference at all,... | |
| Skeptic or just plain hard headed Folks let me just make this clear. This test is to see if cable burn in has ANY effect on cables. I'm not trying to put a percentage on it or a value to it... Only thing I am trying to do is determine if it has any effect from a sonic perspective.... | |
| Skeptic or just plain hard headed A 0.005% change hu... man you must have some damn good hearing. | |
| Skeptic or just plain hard headed @dorkwadOh ok I have not read the article yet so I was just assuming he was doing it from the pre to the power amp but source to pre I guess that makes sense. @Elizabeth I think I am inclined to be in your camp on that philosophy at this stage. | |
| Skeptic or just plain hard headed actually I am going to do a quick compare to the AQ cable today to see if its even catching up so. I can also apply that scale to that test to keep it short. | |
| Skeptic or just plain hard headed @geoffkait Ah. Ok I like that. I am also putting some other criteria to go with it when I do the comparison to the AQ cable but for the primary question of does it sound different pre/post burn in. I will use that scale. Actually if I hear no dif... | |
| Skeptic or just plain hard headed Getting close. Half way there | |
| Skeptic or just plain hard headed @twoleftearslets see I started the process on Sat around noon so that would be 144 hours I have put on them and they had 48 hours from MA so that is 196 hours to the minute almost. I tell you what. I will do a quick listening test today. I will no... |
