Do speaker cables need a burn in period?

... please provide some fact-based explanation as to why speaker cables may require breaking in. I will keep an open mind ... until any plausible explanation is presented, I've got to call BS.

It doesn't sound like your mind is very open.

If this matter interests you, why not conduct your own listening tests?

It would be a good way to do it, but around here it would be even more flammable. It could happen that, once he conducts his own test and reports results that are not in line with what was expected by others, he gets called different names and his results get dismissed as crap. That happens here. It is just a no-win situation.

I hate to judge too hastily but it appears glubson has completely psyched himself out. Oh, the humanity!

Interesting ancedote tarras22 or is it Steve Stone? At any rate the best thing about that test is it points out what  the objectivist admits we all have biases and can be as dogmatic as anyone else which is why the objectivist argues for  blind testing and replicability. In the case of this thread I freely admit I would probably not be a good test subject on whether a lenght of wire used for x number of hours sounds better or different than a new lenght of wire. The notion to me is preposterous.
