transparent audio ultra ic burn in time

I have no experience with the interconnects that you reference, but I can't imagine that if you don't like the sound of a cable new that it'll suddently start sounding great. I think a good portion of the reason for burn in is because over time you'll get used to the new sound and it might even grow on you.

In my limited experience, cables only make small difference in overall sound so to expect a major change from break in doesn't make much sense.

Even speakers maintain the majority of their signature sound after break in. While the tweeters may get smoother and the bass extension a bit better, if you didn't like them new it's unlikely that you'll like them at all.

I had a home audition of Transparent Ultra MM2 Speaker and interconnect cable. They just didn't sound good in my system. I returned them and purchased another product.

The low current that is used to burn in IC's will not make a IC that you don't enjoy into a IC that you will enjoy.

I have 200 hours on the Ultra cables and pleased to report a big improvement. sound kept changing,driving me nuts. first came the improvement in airiness which kept improving. followed by the improvement in bass exrension. Now bass extension,airiness and detail is excellent.i can safely recommend this cable but it must be burned in for at lest 200 hours. i also believe one must listen to any equipment before deciding.
thank you all for your replies

Alfa100 - I think your mind is playing tricks on you. I'd love to challenge audiophiles to a blind A/B test of cables before and after.
