Update:
Today, now I am very glad I stuck it out with SR Galileo SX during the burn in cycle. I have perhaps 200 hours on it and it has transformed daily from the beginning when it sounded so very forward. There were no ups and downs just a continuing daily improvement.
Not sure how much better with additional hours it can become, but at this point it is a keeper.
The funny thing about break in, Synergistic Research said they burned in the cables for 5 days before shipping to me and claimed very little change would occur after additional hours.
BTW, I have recently compared the SR cable to a very expensive power cord.
