Cable Break-in....again?


I recently purchased a used set of cables. According to the prior owner, the cables had been given roughly 120 hours of play time (the required break-in time according to the manufacturer). However, it seems that once I install the cables in my system, I can hear them break-in again, as if they were new.

Do you think that once a cable (either speaker or interconnect) has been disconnected for a period of time, they require another break-in period?

Wow. That was authoritative...cable burn is real. Doesn't matter what anyone thinks...it is real, like it or not.

no, RSAD did offer special meds if required so everyone can enjoy the effect of break-in with cables.:)

Dear Sadone....
Wow. That was authoritative....

I wasn't trying to be authorative. Why did you see it that way? Please don't answer...I really don't care what you probably have to say seeing that you missed the point of my post anyway.

Cheers!

Robert,

Apologies if I came across a bit abrupt...you are right...I see now that you were just making a comment in a light hearted way and I took it more seriously than you intended. ( I see the end of your post was a bit tongue-in-cheek ) I was just trying to get a discussion going and I can see you don't want to go there. Nevermind.

In any case, there is never much fun in taking things too seriously, which maybe I did.

I understand that the lack of anything but anecdotal evidence on the benefits of exotic speaker cables will never prevent some audiophiles from dramatically increasing enjoyment from their audio system when they install these new wires; whatever the cause, good fortune to those who do, and enjoy!
