Why do new cables needs to be "broken" ???

Pierre,

This will be fun to watch. Cable performance & break in is like discussing religion or football...

I guess we have to wait till the electrons all line up so they can march down the single crystal-cryotreated-warmed up oh so carefully--6 9's pure copper (or silver or palladium or my own proprietary quasiallow) diameter matched-actively shielded pathway we provide them.

Let the entertainment commence!!

It takes that long for the electrons to learn how to read the arrows through the jacket of the cable. Before they become literate those little buggers are running around so confused that Ringo is playing a guitar center stage and Paul is singing backup with Jethro Tull.

Bignerd,

If you hook the cables up backwards and spin beatles platters backwards, does it sound forwards?
