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?

Nonoise,
It seems like you can't understand simple logic.  I can recapture for you.
When you listen to something side by side one right after another, no need to audio blah blah blah memories.  Unless you say human being not capable hearing or differentiate or making any logical decision.
Andy2, the logic seems to elude you my friend.

I object to your saying I can't handle the truth when, if you bother to actually read what I said, I'm referring to music one is intimately familiar with being the standard to go by and not the memory of the cable is was played through. Lots of cables can come close in sound just as some can tamper with it. So, once you know how something sounds to your liking, the rest is easy.

No audio memory is needed when you have exacting familiarity with how a chime or bell sounds when played back through different cables. The same goes for fine, tonally textured base compared to one note base that can be introduced by an inferior cable.

That, and the fact that you need not spend serious coin to get great sounding cables. But having said all that, you'll screw it up to your way of seeing things, as is your wont.

All the best,
Nonoise
Nonoise,
I still don't think you understand.  When you compare two cables side by side, it's a relative thing.  No need to remember what a "chime" sounds like.  You just need to know relatively how two cables sound with respect to the chime. 

If a person can't tell the difference from listening to something side by side, then there is no point of going any further.  Is that person you?
Are you saying you are incapable of listening to something side by side and cannot tell the difference?  This is the basis of your logic.  How sad.

Admittedly with the lack of seriousness in the thread, combined with many of the weird things claimed in the audiophile domain,  we can get in to a Poe's Law situation.  That said...

May I ask (just in case you were serious):  How in the world do you think a cable could cause "one note bass?"   

(That is a cable that wasn't flat out defective).







"One note bass" can be "caused" by any component, not just cables.  Cables are filters when it comes right down to it and affect the sound just like any active components.

If Nonoise is serious enough, maybe he can come up with a definition of "One note bass".
