Do speaker cables need a burn in period?

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.

>>>>We see that here a lot. They frequently say proudly, “I have found no evidence to support their claim.” 😛 Just because you see no reason for it doesn’t mean there isn’t one. There is no apparent reason why a super huge black hole 3 Million times the mass of our sun is in the middle of our galaxy, either. I thought all the world loves a mystery. Ah, sweet mystery of life!

In short, there is no way you can be right

That is sort of the problem with these threads, everyone wants to be "right", everyone believes they are "right", and everyone wants everyone else to acknowledge they are "right". Never gonna get there. Of course these threads would be a lot less fun if everyone simply stated their case objectively and moved on.

I think one of the reason is with real world objects such as car brakes, you can see it with your own eyes.  With electrons and molecular structure, it's hard for people to see or understand how things work at that scale therefore one has to have some back ground in electrical engineering.  
Imagine a molecule and a billiard ball.  The difference is the billiard ball is composed of many molecule, but the molecule moves and disturbed in just about the same way as a billiard ball.  But most people probably can't visualize a molecule because visually you cannot see a molecule therefore it seems somewhat mysterious.   The billiard ball and molecule are both governed by the same principle: F = ma. 
Once you could see how molecule, electrons and their behaviors are not that different from a billiard ball, then maybe you could understand the effect of break-in.

I undestand very well science is incomplete and open to progression and change. But the physics of electron flow and signal transmission is extremely well established as to basic principals.  These princilals are well measurable by incredibly sophisticated techniques. We also undertand the limits of the human ear. What IS open to much more understanding and theorizing is the human mind and its perceptions of speech and music. As well as its ability to form tribal alliances and belief systems. That is why I think it is probabilistically much more likely that tne explanations for perceptions we are discussing are found there. By many orders of magnitude. These are not perfect arguments, none are, but highly likely ones.
Some good reading is by Jonathan Haight, Daniel Levetin, Leonid Perlovsky (who has some fascinating ideas on the "purpose" of music and how it might in turn influence perception).
I am trying to advance the principals by which open minded people can parse challenging ideas with many parts, which does include some appeal to authority IF that authority is well grounded. Otherwise we are just living in our own heads. I have no interest in a pissing contest with GK, rather I am making a case for interested parties, like the OP, from the perspective of someone who has looked into many of the overlapping areas in some depth. BTW my personal starting point of thinking about the issues was that different wire would improve my audio listening experience.
