Does a brand new electrical circuit for audio gear benefit from burn in/break in time?

I mean, the consensus seems to be that all other electrical components of audio gear does, right? So seeing as all that brand new Romex is basically another electrical component in the system?

Thanks for relating your experience. Sounds like you had a good test situation. When I recently put in a new direct line, I noticed a substantial increase in sound quality, but not change after that. But I wasn’t paying close attention, but I tend to notice changes in sound quality.

I'll wager not one of the respondents fully disconnected their system and re-connected prior to the miraculous improvements...
