Eloquence and logic are not mutually exclusive. In fact, eloquence is ability to present logical thinking in a better and, often, easier-to understand, way. I think you are confusing magicians, con artists, swindlers, hustlers, little neighborhood... 
Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
Again, I am in neither camp on this burn-in issue, so I can somewhat objectively tell you that both sides seem entrenched in the same way. Same pattern with different prefix. If you have a firm belief in existence of burn-in, arguing with someone ...

Huh, those are some depressing views. And incorrect in many other people’s views. 
Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
Eloquent is not the enemy of truth at all. It is just nicer and more coherent way of expressing it. Think of it as "truth with a style" rather than "truth with whining".Whatever the truth about burn-in ends up being, it is, except for manufacturer...

On these 18 pages, and between both camps, you could not collect 100 sentences that would qualify as somewhat scientific. Most of the "scientific" attempts are good for shrugging shoulders and not much else. There are lots of testimonies, but they...

They may not be outlandish. They may be just right in Neverland or any other fantasy land. For normal living people, they are a sad joke. Relax your room, you will feel better. So will your cable. Nervous rooms and traumatized cables are a big pro...

Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers
skyscraper,Thanks for your trip report. I guess we all felt like we were getting ready for the road trip with you and are now happy when the mission has been accomplished. You are making me want to go and audition Magicos which no review so far ha... 
Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics.
skyscraper,I just realized you are the OP from the DC speaker road trip. I will go back to that thread to see how it went. The spoiler is that now I know what speakers you got. 
Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics.
skyscraper,It is probably better that you keep the discussion about cables you need here and take a peek at other cable threads from time to time. Here you have a thread about, more or less, building your system and someone may come and give real ... 
Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics.
How did the thread with this title end up being a discussion about cables? OP asked many questions and explicitly said he was not dealing with cables (yet).There are cable threads out there where anything goes. Well, if OP does not mind it here...

Bobby only reads explanations without obvious conflict of interest.
