Burn in is BS! Why would a manufacture provide you with a product that was not ready for optimal performance? Makes about as much sense as Jack Daniels selling you whiskey that YOU have to age before drinking.
Well I think you should post your first thread topic or review before posting such effusive statements. FWIW, Jorma Designs state that all their ultra pure copper conductors are subjected to a spark test using 6000 V impulse tension before going into production. And the cables are then run in on their cable cooker prior to being shipped. My Jorma Statement cables were run in continuously for 2 weeks!
The better cable cookers also burn in the cables more thoroughly than simply playing normal musical signals alone. I’d suggest reading the technical explanation of the Blue Horizon Proburn machine -

https://www.mojo-audio.com/blog/breaking-in-cables-and-components/As to my personal experience, I did an a-b comparison between my fully run in Jorma Prime sc’s vs a brand new pair of identical length Jorma Statement sc’s. The particular pair of Statement sc’s we tested were required urgently for a customer, so I was told they were only briefly placed on their cable cooker prior to shipment. I could clearly hear how much smoother my Primes sounded compared to the Statements, even though the latter cables sounded clearly superior straight out of the box.
