Do speaker cables need a burn in period?


I have heard some say that speaker cables do need a 'burn in', and some say that its totally BS.
What say you?

What crawled up you and died? Your insistence on staying ignorant of what boils down to some very common knowledge around here smacks of one being willfully obtuse.

Having a particularly bad day?

What the hell is this? Have you gone completely insane? I don’t even know what got in to you? Are we talking about cable break-in?

Maybe you’re trying to get warmed up for a horror flick.
Maybe you’re just on drugs?
That's probably the most psycho post I've seen here.



I don’t think there is a lot of excuse for not doing it, at least for a reasonable amount of time, say 144 hours (1 week).

Except nobody is doing it except probably for some high end cables which the cost has already taken into account.  

I am getting scared for whoever you're doing consulting work for.  That is if that's your actual job.  

Oh well ... if you want in indulge into your own wet dreams, who am I to stop.  

The newbie guesses that the next time a woman peeks into this forum will be the first time.
That is because, as you have illustrated, you are not very familiar with manufacturing and the costs involved, and how little per unit amortized costs can be.

Since you believe I am wrong, why don’t you show me how? ..... use some real numbers, I will even allow you to guess at values. I don’t have to guess. That is why I have a company (not a single consultant) that consults to the audio industry and several others. We even manage contract manufacturing and do some low volume work ourselves where it makes sense.

You are long on ad hominems, short on useful content.
