How much does volume matter when breaking in amps and cables?

You seem to keep up with many of these post here on Audiogon and other sites and your telling me you have not read John Curl, Ralph Karsten ,Neilson Pass, Caelin Gabriel to name just a few top designers talk about break in. You seem to have selective reading so Im calling BS and yes they have test gear but they also know that doesn't tell them how it will sound. You also like arguing with other members who hear differences.

Just because it cant be quantified doesn't mean you cant here a difference.

Kosst you need to list your system so we know why you cant hear a DIFFERENCE.

I make tube amps. I cycle and burn them in for 24 hours but only to catch the infant mortalities, which I do. If burnin of electronics was real why wasnt it "discovered" in the 1950’s?

>>>>Oh, there’s the problem! Amp manufacturer. Problem solved! 🤗

If black holes were real why weren’t they discovered in the 1950’s?

If gravity waves were real why weren’t they discovered in the 1950’s?

Yeah, who needs David Hafler, Peter Walker, Sid Smith, Bill Johnson, Frank Van Alstine, Ralph Karsten, Tim deParavicini, Nelson Pass, Roger Modjeski, and all the other great designers and builders of hi-fi electronics? We have self-appointed amateur audiophile arbiters who REALLY understand music reproduction. and are not shy of proclaiming what is "true". Funny how some of them seldom mention what music they actually listen to. Many electronic designers are (or were if RIP) also often themselves musicians.

If they don’t believe in fuses, power cords or wire directionality who needs em? End of story. Call it Old School or stick in the mud, whatever. You’re a lot better at name dropping than I am, so you get A+ for that. 🤗

If you want to do the same thing for no cost take a 12-24 volt AC wall wart, cut off the plug and go to it on your cables. Its going to do the same thing

...Sort of....

What happens in that case, is there ends up being an approximate 60hz-sh lumpiness to the sound, for about 100hrs. Typical break-in scenarios...
