Do speaker cables need a burn in period?


I have heard some say that speaker cables do need a 'burn in', and some say that its totally BS.
What say you?

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. 🤠
