Cable Break In for the Naysayers
The Naysayers opinion on cable breakin is probably due to the system that is used (and perhaps the ears) is not revealing enough. And/if you progress through this hobby with better equipment, cables and the breakin will be more apparent. ozzy  
Cable Break In for the Naysayers
I guess everyone has an opinion on this subject and I would like to hear it. For those of you who believe all cables are the same, please can you describe the sound quality you have experienced before or after the scientific measurements; do they ...

Cable Break In for the Naysayers
Yeah, you can believe the true Audiophiles who actually listen to music not measurements. Earbuds probably measure pretty well too. ozzy  
Cable Break In for the Naysayers
I think that audio science guy really likes the Topping Equipment. He claims it really tests well with his lab equipment. Has anyone actually used this equipment? I have, and it sounds terrible, so sterile! No life in the music. Tests great, sou... 
Footers- Break In? Such A Change.
No. Everything is better than what I started with.  ozzy    
Cable Break In for the Naysayers
jafant, I had an opportunity to replace both my speaker cables (used) and the interconnect cable (new) with the AQ Thunderbird. Now along with my AQ Dragon power cords and the AQ 7000 conditioner I now have a complete loom of all AQ cabling. I a...

That Audio Science guy is always negative about HI-End audio stuff. He does all these measurements but never actually listens to music to evaluate. ozzy  
Cable Break In for the Naysayers
I don’t agree. I do not believe equipment exists (yet) to measure the burn in/breakin of cables. But if you had the audio equipment and ears you would be a believer. I remember feeling the same way as you do now many years ago about power cords. ... 
Cable Break In for the Naysayers
There have been some very good posts on both sides of the question. From this discussion, If I had not heard the difference before/after breakin I too might (maybe) have been convinced that cables do not break in. Afterall it’s just wire and insu... 
Cable Break In for the Naysayers
I remember the phase that "if we can't measure it, it can't be real". However, perhaps we do not have the proper equipment to measure it. ozzy  
Cable Break In for the Naysayers
It is no problem when you don’t agree with my topic, but if you can, flesh it out with more details as to why you feel that way, it would be helpful. ozzy

Hang in there, they will transform! ozzy  
Power cords different lengths.
I do have one of the newer Dragons (unbraided) source and one of the older type (braided) source and I have not noticed any difference in the 2 styles in sound quality. ozzy  
Power cords different lengths.
I own the Dragon power cords and one is 1 meter, and the other is 2 meters, for the exact reason you asked because of my mono block's location's. Also, the cords are quite massive and will be difficult to coil any excess. I have never noticed ANY...
