Cable re-burn in


How long does it take for an already burnt in cable to re-burn in back to optimal? I'm doing a lot of interconnect and speaker cable comparisons and sometimes a cable will sit unused for several hours to several days. Is it a fair comparison to A/B one cable against another when cable "B" has sat for unused foe 3 days?

Thanks for reminding. Great movie I agree. Just made my point on how to reverse burn-in LOL!:-)
Can excessive gear burn-in lead to burn-in burnout? Can you be burned by listening to non burned-in gear? Can burn-in lead to burn up in extreme cases? If you lower the temperature of a listening room does your cable reverse burn-in? Is reverse burn-in also a form of burnout? Somebody give me a QUINTIC!
I have always been skeptical about cable burn in.

Last week I recommissioned a pair of bi-wire AQ Caldera speak cables that I plan to sell here on AGon. Initially the sound I go was terrible. Dark, hazy sound with no stage depth or width. I would have immediately swapped them back out but had worked up a sweat installing them so I let them be and kept music on throughout the day as I tooled around the house.

The next day things sounded much better and by last night I was considering leaving them in and selling my Transparent Ultra XL cables instead.
If there not XLR look around for a Duotech cable burner. It burns Cables and Speaker cables. Hook up cables, plug in and turn on. It plays white noise through the cables,you can't hear it though. Look on Ebay.
