Do speaker cables need a burn in period?

Being able to hear “sheen” from Teflon dielectric but not being able to hear cable direction is an excellent example of WTF?

Yeah, crazy huh?  Maybe I simply didn't like the cables I've listened to that had Teflon-covered wire but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.  As head teleporter, I'm sure you know not everything in audio can be rationally explained.

Oh, like it couldn’t be something else in the cable that caused the “sheen,” you know, other than the dielectric? Get real! Was the cable burned in? 😛

No one here has the courage to talk about everyone's brain burn-in period though. Neurons are far more adaptable than speaker cables. We are very good at the process of belief.

finally got some data back on cable burn in that saystoyota better than ferraribelden better than qedplain jane better than jane darling
damn i was fooled.

Was the cable burned in?

Sure, it has been "cables" not just one and, as discussed earlier, I use the Audiodharma Cable Cooker on all my cables since I don't care to spend my time listening for burn-in changes or keeping a log of how something sounds over many hundreds of hours.
