cable break in


had a friend ask me if after you break in/burn in your cables are they more or less conductive? i would have to say less conductive, but not sure why? does anyone have a good answer?

The speed of insulation polarization is comparable with speed of light so cable "breaks-in" as soon as you connect it to the signal.

Really? Nah...come on...this is a joke, right?

Not a joke.
Read any introductory book on Electro-statics and there you'll find an answer.
The break in period depends on the conductor, conductor geometry, and dielectric. Ask any good cable designer; pay very little attention to free advice offered by those who quote introductory books as their source.
