Do speaker cables need a burn in period?

@audacious 
The “difference” being discussed is the difference in how a fuse or cable sounds when it is turned around in the opposite direction.  The premise being that all wire is directional and having the wire oriented in the proper direction is audibly superior.  (Hint: I believe the first statement but not so much the second). My response to @tobor007 was not about the difference between different cables.

Thing is Geoff, nobody HAS given you a Nobel prize. The "appeal to authority" is not MY authority but say, about a million lbs of EE and Physics texts back to Maxwell and Faraday and hundreds of universities, thousand of recording studios and all those players of Strads who laugh at your directional or burnt in wire. Yeah. Appeal to those authorities.

I apologize to everyone for posting my tiny little experiment about reversed interconnects here but I thought it may not be that misplaced. Wire directionality has been polluting this thread, via geoffkait’s repeated posts insisting on it, for many days now.

csmgolf,

I agree with your view of my interconnect trial but a person has to start somewhere. Not to mention that any kind of blind testing is frowned upon so my experiment was as flawed as they get. Still, been there, done that, did not work, good if it works for someone else. For me, suspicion was sufficiently proven by a lousy experiment.

glubson to self: gee that guy seems like he knows something. I think I’ll ride in on his coattails and scold geoffkait again and brag about my simple experiment (which by the way is discredited by the thousands of other experiments with the opposite result. How unlucky can one person be? Shall we call you gullible glubson? 🤔

So, many explain subjectively that they believe so.   Can anyone offer an explanation as to why this would make any difference?

i am trying to remain open-minded, but cannot see any explanation why this would make any difference.  

If if there is any difference, it seems to me adjusting to the character of the altered sound seems more likely.

again, I just want to hear one fact-based argument for “burning-in” speaker cables.

i see the reason for a car’s brakes - to heat treat the rotors evenly and burnish an set the pads, but I have never seen any explanation for speaker cables.
