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

Hello to all...

Was reading on a cable/interconnect manufacturers' site that they recommend min 350 preferrably 450 hrs Burn-In time, and 2 to preferably 24 hrs Settling Time (after plugged and unplugged).

Have never heard the term Settling Time: what is it, how is it done, what effect would it have if done or not done, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY - would like to hear from someone who has actually done this and your impressions...

THANKS!

gosta,

"...any cable when you disconnect it actually forgets all about how to transport a signal from one point to another..."
Ginko is said to work well with short-term memory issues. How about coating cables in Ginko-derived envelope? That may be a next break-through on this burn-in/settle-in topic. Significantly improved spatial orientation, too.

Why do cable-cookers exist?

Hint: it's getting near Thanksgiving.

Memory? I had a set of cables with amnesia too! Gonna try shock therapy next.

Yes. Playing music through your cables for a hundred hours is in essence shock therapy.  Finally resolution
