Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period.

Almost all the audio equipment including speaker need burn in time.

But I had bad experience with one digital cable recently.

Some people blew the horn on it and claimed burn in time more than 100 hours.

Out of box it had lot of details but etched.

After 8 weeks (around 200 hours) it got little bit better but its overall performance is not better than other digital cable that I have had.

Now it is too late to return it.

Beware of any cable claiming more than 50 hours of burn in time.

The chance is high that you will waste your time and money.

Thank you.

As I said, I do find your hypothetical explanation interesting. I've heard something similar before to explain possible changes in cable performance.

I'm no expert on electrical theory to say the least, so I'll have to sit back and see if such an explanation ever gets vetted by people with the necessary knowledge and expertise.

Cheers!

With a 2K cartridge that has a life expectancy of about 2,000 hrs. buying a set of cables that takes 200 -  300+ hours to start sounding good seems like a bad deal to me......Jim

One poster wrote, " I had used Kimber PBJ for the 7 meter run, and back then, I never noticed any change but I was not looking for any". Interesting, that some people are looking for the change in sound. Perhaps if you were not  looking for a change you would not find it.

Good point. "If you keep your eyes shut tight, I am certain you will not see anything.. either." With your eyes still closed ask yourself, can I hear the difference?
