Do speaker cables need a burn in period?

Not to be argumentative, but everything you've brought up has been discussed at length here on prior threads.

Perusing the various cable makes out there will bear that out.

You absolutely make no sense.  Are you even considering real world cost?  As I said, where I came from it costs money to purchase equipment and to hire people to do things.  

I suppose where you came from everything is free.  I love to see where that is.  

I have been involved in products that sell for <$10-20 that were burned in for 24 hours. Equipment costs are amortized over say 2 years, variable costs are electricity, facility overhead, and the labour to put the cable into the equipment, and take it out. Given the claims of technical prowess by these companies, it should not be hard to put together equipment to do this. If it is a high dollar, low volume shop, the margin should easily cover this cost. If it is a high volume, low dollar shop, then the per unit amortized costs should be low.

I don’t think there is a lot of excuse for not doing it, at least for a reasonable amount of time, say 144 hours (1 week).

What crawled up you and died? Your insistence on staying ignorant of what boils down to some very common knowledge around here smacks of one being willfully obtuse.

Having a particularly bad day?

What the hell is this? Have you gone completely insane? I don’t even know what got in to you? Are we talking about cable break-in?

Maybe you’re trying to get warmed up for a horror flick.
Maybe you’re just on drugs?
That's probably the most psycho post I've seen here.

Except nobody is doing it except probably for some high end cables which the cost has already taken into account.  

I am getting scared for whoever you're doing consulting work for.  That is if that's your actual job.  

Oh well ... if you want in indulge into your own wet dreams, who am I to stop.
