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?

What?? There is tons of empirical scientific data on this topic, all over the world, over many, many years. It's long settled - basic - physics. 
Do certain audiophiles have some innate pseudo-scientific knowledge that only their finely honed hearing can determine?
Signal purity, strength, degradation is easily measured and demonstrable. These are well established, scientific FACTS.

We're not talking about the nature of the universe or time travel.

The industry absolutely loves the idea that some people are sold on the idea that they need to spend $200 a foot to get a better quality signal to their speakers. The finest, most expensive speakers in the world still contain simple 14 or 16 gauge internal wiring. Do you really believe that companies who manufacture $30,000, $50,000, $100,000 speakers have just been missing the opportunity to improve the sound of their product by simply improving the quality of the few feet of wiring inside their own products?

A forum like this should be a place to provide the community with helpful and correct information so people can spend their hard earned money in places that will truly enhance their listening experience and feed their thirsty ears. -not support an industry that has gotten fat, dumb, happy and very rich because they can sell a phony bill of goods to a certain percentage of the population. We should be putting an end to this nonsense and not perpetuating these myths.
Burn in is experienced by many people.
The placebo effect or expectancy effect is also experienced by many people.

"We have barely scratched the surface of physics."

We are all, me included, taught that there is more out there, but what this is all that there is? There is no guarantee that more explanations for many things are coming our way. Is there a time limit when we may say "we have waited enough, there is actually nothing beyond this"?


Having said that, for the time being, we should try to find more.

>>>>>Yeah, right. You know this how? Are you psychic? Did you text them?
Geoff,
You know this how?
Know which?
1. Burn in is experienced by many people. as reported by @blueranger or
2. Expectancy effect is experienced by many people.
Which of those statements is more likely to have come from a psychic?
Can you be sure I have not been texting with the 80,000 you claim to "hear it"?
