Break in is dramatic but changing much faster (for the better) than my other high end cables.
First day:
Out of the box sounded really good, but by that night sounded brittle, flat and decided best to let it cook.
Day two:
Treble still pretty harsh on piano registers but better extension. Bass still really bad!
Day three:
Treble starting to show its mettle and hearing things in the music I never heard before. On Keith Jarret Kohn Concert, while I always heard him moaning in the background, with good peddle noise, I all of a sudden thought he was in the room, uncanny. Bass still not tight though.
Day four, early morning:
Starting to come together. Today was the first day I could actually sit and enjoy the music. Bass starting to really tighten up and the highs are just incredible now. Very natural. Piano sounds like real piano. Great weight with soundstage and imaging finally locked.
I am guessing at present rate that by this weekend will be really something.
Quite surprised at the speed of this change as I am more accustomed to great cables taking at least a month to really settle down.
So far, very encouraged
