Do speaker cables need a burn in period?

Nice clay animation. The joke they should have asked the devil is:What's the difference between "lace curtain Irish" and "shanty Irish"?

The lace curtain Irish takes the dishes out of the sink before they pee.

And yes, I'm part Irish. My grand mother watched her great uncles, Larkin, Allen and O'brien hang in Fenian's Arch in Manchester Square, which started the Easter Uprising. Back then they were known as the Irish Republican Brotherhood.

Nonoise resorting to blah blah blah.

Andy2, you’d be surprise to know that what you say is what I do when listening for auditory clues of music I’m familiar with. I don’t prejudge the cables. I look for differences in presentation.

It can be done one right after the other or even weeks or months apart when the clues I listen for are still, and always there. It’s easy to notice.

Again, you posted when I was composing. 

blah, blah, blah

betrays some serious intellect.

nonoise,

Do you think that a 30 something gauge, single silver wire IC in a basically air dielectric can’t sound demonstrably different form a run of the mill, copper stranded Blue Jeans IC?

Do you mean is it possible to choose a wire that simply has the wrong specs for the job demanded of it, such that it will alter the signal vs one with sufficient specs? Of course that’s the case. Choose a 50 foot long 30 awg speaker wire vs a 10 awg wire and of course it's possible to experience audible attenuation at certain frequencies.

That is so obvious I’d hoped I didn’t have to add that caveat (which is why I left it out).

I’d presumed you were talking about sonic differences between cables assuming they all have similar specifications necessary for where you are going to use them.

Presuming that is what you meant, can you explain how a non-defective cable would alter the sound to "one note bass?"

I get that you *think* you have heard this; I’m asking what could possibly explain it (aside from incompetence in choosing the right cable for the job?)

Uh, Nonoise, my Irish ancestors got drunk and woke up in the Florida Territories. No, really. And, being Irish, they VOLUNTEERED to fight in every war since. 👀
