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?

mitch2,

I am sure you have not been texting with the 80 000 who "hear it".

I know this how?

There are no 80 000. geoffkait said the other day that he made them up.

(page 14 of this thread, October 12, 2018)

We should finally put this 80 000 fantasy to rest and never mention it again.

Burn in is real but maybe not the wire as so much as the hook up points. People using silver paste as a contact enhancer have experienced sonic benefits including me
