The molecular level explanation of "cable burn-in"

I believe that I can hear the difference between cables that I have put into my system.  The physics of why that is the case . . . I haven't the slightest idea, although it seems like manufacturers believe that they need to say something to explain why you need to fork over sometimes big $$ beyond "buy my cable . . . it sounds better" and we end up with a bunch of technogobbledygook that probably has nothing to do with why the cable sounds different but sounds very scientific -- MIT, I am thinking of your "poles of articulation" nonsense.  So, the debate regarding why cables sound different continues and until some group designs a method of doing a real A/B blind test that eliminates any variances other than the cable, this debate will go on and on.

This brings me to the next logical point.  If it sounds different, shouldn't that show up in some sort of measurement on REW, or an oscilloscope, or at least something? If not, why not?

@dill. I take objection to your post. That attitude would seem to place you in the 1% crowd who seemingly has sufficient resources to continue to upgrade equipment seeking to lift that final veil and achieve nirvana. For the rest of us 99 percenters. we are resigned to reach a point of good enough.

Being a KEF fan and owning a pair of R3 Metas, the implication is that I shouldn't be happy until I have a pair of Muons sitting in my living room. Just maybe I'm unwilling to sell or mortgage my house or clean out my retirement accounts in order to meet you lofty standards. Yes, I am a proud member of the good enough club.

llg98ljk - Your comments about me are not accurate and if you read the other posts by classicrockfan you would understand where I am coming from.

"the implication is that I shouldn’t be happy until I have a pair of Muons sitting in my living room."

- I made no implication to you of any kind.

And some people believe there is a man in the sky with a white beard that will take care of them when they die, if only that they would behave. They do believe this really happens.

You don't need a lot of money to get to audio nirvana. I have spent about $45,000...over a period of 56 years. That's about $820 a year. My wife spends more than that on cigarettes.

I hope to finish with my essay on my 56 year journey soon, and I will post it here.
