... what is Settling Time in cables and interconnects...

I know that the Cerious Technologies Graphene and Matrix cables need time to settle in after you install them and or move them. I believe it has something to do with the Graphene possibly?
Perhaps if the manufacturer @rgrost has the time he can add his expertise?

People who can hear it = audiophiles 🤗

I'm just another Newbee so what do I know. But I have to agree that a broken in cable should not be moved around. They (cables) are just like us humans. If we settled in on a nice place, never move us from there. Same goes for interconnects. Don't change the right one to suddenly bear the left signal.
Sorry, if I got something wrong.

"I get my cables from unused NASA surplus shuttle maintenance stores that have been flown into space because it gets exposed to beneficial quantum radiation particle bombardment, then I have them professionally massaged in an oxygen free hypobaric chamber as the connectors are attached. I must say that bathing the cables in liquid nitrogen just prior to every listening session really sweetens the sound too, but sometimes my cat gets it's tongue stuck."
