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.

My philosophy is that if the sonic signature of an audio item does not suit you right out of the box, no amount of burn in is going to make such a huge difference where you will change your mind. I’m not saying, things will not open up or improve. Heck, you may learn to like it. However, the general, major sonic qualities should be present from day 1. 

Some cable companies should offer replacement tubes. By the time you burn their cables in, you’ll need to change out tubes (tic). 

I believe in burn in. However, some companies use it as an excuse to talk people out of returning their products.
