Anyone familiar with Canare 4s11 speaker wire sound and break in time


Hi, I just bought some canare 4s11 for a second system. My main speaker cables are Audience au24 and in another system TG Audio or also known as Bob Crumps silver solid core wire. I've heard the break in can be long. I hooked them up last night they sounded pretty good but now its gone south so I hooked it up to a receiver in a spare room and running in 24/7. I've heard 250 hours to 500.

I know it's very inexpensive wire but heard a lot of good things for the money, and just wanted to give it a try, hell $1.18 a foot free shipping. It is going to be used with tube pre and amp and tube dac streaming only. What are you impressions of this wire and did you find break in long and does it change back and forth during break in? Thanks for any insight

Anyone run 2, 4s11 or a pair of them, (total 8 conductors)in shot gun form. If so I could order another set tomorrow. If 2 is better than one why not it's only another $20 and can break them in together and be done with it.
I used internal biwire 4S11 for a while - I thought they sounded good off the bat and enjoyed them.  Great bang for the buck.
Con are It’s decent for the money but nothing special vs upper end cables like Wireworld Eclipse which is well balanced and on the low side for Med priced Audiophile cables.

I was at a friend’s place who was needing to relocate his Pass X350 driving the tops (waaay too much power!) of Vandersteen Model 5s a number of years ago. Long story short he replaced 8’ of AudioQuest Kilimanjaro with 20’ of Canare 4S11. To initially hear the vast degradation in downgrading spkr cables the system was played with the cable swap on just one side to evaluate. Needless to say, the sound was disappointing as expected with a huge deviation in balance, dynamics, resolution and tonality in the system between the two now dissimilar loudspeakers. Just for the hell of it, it was decided to double run “Shotgun” both sets of Canare on the one side against the single Kilimanjaro on the opposite channel and the improvement was remarkable. On the bi-wire loving Vandersteens with longish cable runs, the deck may have been stacked, but IMO double runs of the 4S11 in this case was a bloody bargain.
Canare makes quality cables. I use their Starquad microphone cable for all interconnects.
