Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period.

Almost all the audio equipment including speaker need burn in time.

But I had bad experience with one digital cable recently.

Some people blew the horn on it and claimed burn in time more than 100 hours.

Out of box it had lot of details but etched.

After 8 weeks (around 200 hours) it got little bit better but its overall performance is not better than other digital cable that I have had.

Now it is too late to return it.

Beware of any cable claiming more than 50 hours of burn in time.

The chance is high that you will waste your time and money.

Skhong78, I have the BC silver star as well, Out of the box it sounds good..it match my system..Your system is already revealing maybe? I noticed you are also comparing it to the two cables you have , that’s confusing at times Aniwolfe and I got both good result on the BC silver star....

Choice of cable is dependent on system and personal taste.

If your system is on the forgiving side, then you may be happy with Blackcat cable.

Mine is on the revealing side with plasma tweeters and SET tube amplifiers.

I could not tolerate the slight harshness of the cable.

Upper model of  Blackcat cable could be better.

But without auditioning it, I can not tell.


I had mentioned about Zenwave D4 cable in your thread about Doug's double IC method.

It is quiet good with nice clean details and overall balance.

Somehow  Zenwave D4 is also excellent as digital cable and I ordered 1.5m length at 700$.

Now my cable rolling is over.

I am not the person who keep changing audio components very often.

I will be happy with my system for next 3 or 5 years.

I may try some tube rolling but otherwise I will just enjoy music.

It’s amazing how much exception you take simply to the obvious questions of how you would turn your conjecture in to a testable hypothesis.

Why does this cause you to run around in circles, and shift the burden to me as if I had to somehow disprove YOUR hypothesis??? I mean, do you think it works like this?  You float a hypothesis, and if SOMEONE ELSE doesn't prove it wrong....then you may as well be right and asking for evidence for your claim is just being mean?

You claimed burn-in was a settled question among manufacturers. Again....I dared ask for evidence and I get the X-Files response: "The Truth Is Out There."

Ok. Guess I’ll trust you on that, as you seem to have a good handle on these things.
