... 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!

What an absolute load of bunk, burning in cables and settling time.
Recording studios must be really messed up, they can't let the patch cables get enough "settling time" between changing patch points.
The fantasy some people will believe. PT Barnum laughs from beyond the grave.

It can’t be bunk. You can only de-dunk something that is bunk to begin with. Besides how can PT Barnum be laughing from beyond the grave? Did he get out of his grave and go somewhere? Is he a zombie?

Listening to Jenny Lind today. On very old cables. After a long settling-in.
