Do speaker cables need a burn in period?

That’s interesting. If I recall correctly Michael Green of Tuning fame sometimes bakes cables and lots of other things in the oven, controlling temperature and time, obviously. I tried it with some CDs a few years ago and think I heard an improvement. I’ll try again today at 200 F for ten minutes maybe even twenty minutes. So, I guess you never know. Nothing says lovin’ like something from the oven. 🍪 🍪 🍪

of course, I would be remiss if I didn’t point out that the home freezer (48 hrs) can provide a big percentage of real cryo treatment, not only for metals but almost anything you can think of - CDs, LPs, CD players, cones, power cords, cassettes (!), Blu Ray discs, HDMI cables, etc.

Burn in is real. Ive heard it many times. And no we don't have the test equipment that can analyze not just what our ears hear but how the brain processes the information. How did this all start? Because people started hearing changes in the sound and the term burn in was coined. I can't make it more clear until we have sophisticated enough equipment that can test in the realm of our brain process. You just can't sweep all this under the rug.

Come on, boys, hit a thousand posts. You can do it. I'm rootin' for ya.

Oh, shoot, almost forgot, burn-in is real.

Cheers,
