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.

Because the definition of an "audiophile" is subjective. Often, an audiophile is one who says: "...and if I spend that much money I KNOW it will sound better!
Why is it the fallback position on practically any debate or argument on cables is one of a binary nature, that being, obscenely priced cables vs. zip cord, when it was never brought up to begin with? Is that all you've got?

Maybe I should have qualified it by asking it this way: Why is that people with a grudge and an agenda masquerade as audiophiles and get their sadistic kicks haunting and trolling audiophile sites?

Here's a excerpt of a link from a very well respected recording engineer on what he terms HLO (hard lined objectivists):

The whole article is worth a read as the main thrust of it (problems in op amp chips) allies to all aspects of audio reproduction in

Respected recording engineer who has published a lot of nonsense like that silly test at RF of cables with Kimber and tries to claim it applies to audio (showing technical ignorance), or his claims to have eliminated masking from loud sound ( I call bull), or to raise tinnitus inducement by 30db (bull). I love his rants on crosstalk in op amps which I don't dispute but claims the audio is triangle waves internally is not accurate, and at best implementation and op amp dependent. Convenient to invite the variable and huge crosstalk in the predominant at the time vinyl playback. My favorite though is probably claiming electronics can ameliorate room issues.

And proof of his claims ...



So says you.

All one needs to do is consider the source.
