Does Power Cord Require Burn-In To Sound Good?


I recently bought a new power cord but there isn’t much difference in sound quality between this new cord and the previous Wireworld Elektra 7 which it replaces. The cords are used on the DAC.

Any ideas if the cord needs to burn in to open up and sound better? It currently has about 5 hours on it and I think I prefer the sound quality of the previous cord which costs 10 times cheaper.

Any thoughts appreciated.

@audio2design- I’m absolutely certain (experientially); you’re absolutely wrong.        Yours is simply another uninformed, Naysayer Doctrine adherent’s assumption.        Now: deny the possibilities, offered by the facts presented.

Nice to compare the Acrolink to a WW Silver Electra7 PC.
Keep me posted as you massage those newer PC into your system.

Happy Listening!
It's one less thing to worry about for multi market and makes for easier MFG. Only need really design for 2 or 3 voltages but way more cord ends.

- No, don't buy it. Different voltages in different countries can't be remedied by power cords only.

Not sure who you think you are fooling with this? It’s obvious you don’t have a physics or eng background. If you did you would calculate and clearly communicate , with some hard numbers what your claimed dielectric impacts would be on a power cord supplied by a source (AC line) with a source impedance at audio frequencies of about 0.5 ohm.

You won’t do that though as that would take the exact knowledge you claim others don’t have.
