Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ???

Looks like the same old argumentitive attitude is prevailing on this thread regarding those who dismiss perceived changes in components and suchlike. Maybe stevemj would like to further substantiate his remark that all electrons are alike as I am sure he must have a through understanding and grasp of quantum mechanics and how this subject details the random versus orderly nature of sub-atomic particles and their physical attributes. Can he explain this subject to all us simple audio enthusiasts who have decided they just like to listen and enjoy their music via components selected through their own free choice (whilst also taking advice from all sides who have meaningful contributions to make). Apologies if this post appears agressive but I would just like to see this forum provide meaningful and helpful ways of allowing us all to enjoy and further our knowledge of this hobby without replies to posts degenerating into a "p**ing" match at every opportunity. Regards, Richard.

Th XLO "burn-in" CD reduced my burn in time considerably. From around an average of 150 hours to 90 hours. I run my system around 14 hours a day when breaking in a new cable.

If interested, go to the www.cardas.com where they have a discussion of cable burn in posted in the "insights" section. I'm not sure I buy into it, but it makes for interesting reading

Haven't we been through this all before ? And with the same yay and nay sayers? My humble opinion is that it is not voodoo, I think I have heard differences before, during and after burn in again and again, but the sceptical part in me would like cut and dried proof, that what I hear can really be attributed to this process in debate.

Oh Sean,apaologies, "chucklehead" myself. I misunderstood, no, I did not use anything to speed up the process. Just played music.
