... what is Settling Time in cables and interconnects...


Hello to all...

Was reading on a cable/interconnect manufacturers' site that they recommend min 350 preferrably 450 hrs Burn-In time, and 2 to preferably 24 hrs Settling Time (after plugged and unplugged).

Have never heard the term Settling Time: what is it, how is it done, what effect would it have if done or not done, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY - would like to hear from someone who has actually done this and your impressions...

THANKS!

Here we go again, and again, and again...can we give this topic a rest please?
stevehamp: sure - tell me how to cancel this topic/forum, and I'll gladly go elsewhere...
AND WHY WOULD YOU EVEN WASTE MY TIME AND YOURS BY REPLYING WITH SUCH AN UNHELPFUL COMMENT! I wonder why you just wouldn't share your expansive knowledge - or maybe because the lion-share of you just-shy of 3000 posts are useless fodder like your most recent...
