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?

That is why I mentioned that existence of burn-in may not be important. Regardless of if it exists or not, what can you do about it? It is not worth getting all riled up about it.

All joking aside, for the consumers, cable burn in may not be important since the cables will sound good or bad eventually.  For cables manufacturers, I think it's important since they have to understand how those little electrons will affect the sound.
I wonder if she's also into music?  What type of system does she have?  Is she tube or solid state?
OMG, I can’t believe what I’m reading here. Speaker cable burn in? Are you kidding me? In this universe, what magical, non-scientific process are these speaker cables going through that’s going to change their physical characteristics? Basic physics people - there is nothing you can do to speaker wire by hooking it up from your amp to a speaker that will ever cause it to change itself. You can get your cables cryogenically frozen, add batteries to them, twist in a few "feedback loops" and it won’t change the wire or the manner in which it carries a signal in any way.
Yes, speakers go through break-in periods and electronic components do go through what one might term a "burn-in" but wire is wire. Some good 10ga stranded copper wire is all you need to effectively get the signal from your amp to your speakers. If you actually saw the wiring used inside your speaker to go from the terminals to the crossover and the various drivers, you’d probably faint. You can spend all you want to get that signal to your speakers but on the other side of that terminal you just connected to is much lower quality wire heading to the crossover - industry standard stuff. Don’t get sold on all this hype and snake oil that’s out there.
