Do speaker cables need a burn in period?

>>Speaking of different approaches you ought to consider trying some, you know other than your usual bland blah blah blah. No offense.

geoffkait,

You do have a talent. The only one you have, it seems. Your posts are frequently exact words that others would tell you. You know yourself well and project.

I cannot try some other approach than usual bland blah blah blah. Had you not put the request for "no offense", I could try. This way, you limit my honesty.

Do cables need burn in?

Depends on your standards of evidence.

If audiophile anecdote is good enough for you, then yes they "need" burn in.

But by this same standard of evidence you'll find people who say everything needs burn in, and every tweak works, and everything makes a difference. 

So, it's your time and money.

Maybe you can start with a cable cooker ;-)

Ah, the thin and shaken line between “empirical evidence” and “anecdotal reports.” Most likely it depends on which side of the fence you’re standin’ on, cowboy. 🤠

This was deep.

I aim to please. I know you like the really pithy ones.
