| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? taras22,And surely you have ample measurements to absolutely and fully prove all those assertions beyond the shadow of any doubt. Or are we going to have to trust hearsay based on information drawn from listening experiences using your, uhhhh, ear... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? Once one wraps their head around the perfectly acceptable concept of our hearing being better than a measurement (more exacting, differentiating, etc.) Why accept something untrue?Or, at least, we have to separate the untrue implications from the ... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? Taras,A bog standard cable should at the very least be adept at transmitting something as simple as pitch and duration but dealing with more complex timbre, transient vibrato and envelope modulation is a much more difficult undertaking and require... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? nonoise,Prof, do yourself a favor and check out the specs on a set of Darwin Truth II ICs and a pair of Blue Jean Cables ICs and you'll get it. Hardly.I looked at the Darwin website and it seemed to be full of all the dubious justifications as any... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? taras22,Gotta say that is a very odd thing for a fundamentalist to bring up.That was lame the other times you tried that approach; it doesn't get any better with time.You couldn't accurately articulate the position I have argued if you tried. (be... | |

| Thiel Owners Please andy2, not here with the burn-in cable stuff.(And a google of electromigration certainly does yield anything that establishes warrant for the cable-burn-in claims made by audiophiles/manufacturers. But best to make your claim in that thre... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? nonoise,Do you think that a 30 something gauge, single silver wire IC in a basically air dielectric can’t sound demonstrably different form a run of the mill, copper stranded Blue Jeans IC?Do you mean is it possible to choose a wire that simply ha... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? Admittedly with the lack of seriousness in the thread, combined with many of the weird things claimed in the audiophile domain, we can get in to a Poe's Law situation. That said...nonoise wrote:The same goes for fine, tonally textured base compa... | |
| Thiel Owners I remember my first encounters with the Thiel 3.6 at a local high end store, in the 90's, where I got to play a bunch of my CDs.I had the distinct impression of "that's exactly what it sounded like" when the music was recorded, both in terms of th... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? Ok andy2, lesson finally learned. I attempted good faith interaction, but I won't attempt any more to draw serious replies from you. Enjoy the show. | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? cleeds,This isn’t a scientific group.I understand, but please make sure are not closing ranks too tightly; I and others who share my skepticism about some areas of high end audio are part of this group (insofar as you mean members of the audiogon ... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? @andy2Like I said, manufacturers have a lot of cables lying around so they can do A - B between new and old cables so there is no need to recall something many days ago.And that is exactly why it is suspicious that they do not (that I'm aware of) ... | |
| Thiel Owners Incredible, GeoffKait trolling every forum thread, even the Thiel owners thread, for mention of his name. It's a full time job apparently!Anyway, enough of that, back to Thiel... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? @andy2,Your analogy to a Ferrari and a Toyota is begging the question. (There are obviously gross physical differences in design and well-attested technical reasons why a Ferrari can outperform a Toyota in various ways - and since we are talking a... |
