Is it true that a digital cable has to acclimate to your system?

The explanation is nonsense, however shipping any electronic equipment causes static charge to build-up in the dielectrics.  It takes about 3 days for this to dissipate.  Also, the new connections probably have to adjust at the metal-metal boundaries.  It should sound better after 3 days of break-in.

Thanks Steve. 

That salesman gave you the biggest crock of BS I have ever heard.

I use the Orchid and absolutely love it. Tried numerous cables from many other brands,but the Kimber is a keeper for me. And yes a little run in definitely improves its sound. Don't be so quick to give up on it. If in the end you decide to sell it, let me know I might want to purchase it ( what's the length).
