Need to turn volumn up to break in speaker cable?

You don't need high volume. You just need the signal passing through the cables to the speakers. I always use my tuner and run at a low volume........

Hello Yxlei,

No, you don't need to turn the volume up to break-in cables. You do however need to play a recording with a wide bandwidth.

Good luck,
Tom

It is a real compromise. Try to burn in with what you like listening to most ...and that will be best.

If you burn in with Jazz music then rock will sound funky.

If you burn in with a computer signal then all music will sound digital.

If you burn in with classical music then rock guitars will lose their edge.

If you burn in with rock music then classical music will sound harsh.

Just remember that the cables can get musically stiff during burn in and sometimes left or right channel can get polarized. I suggest thoroughly flexing the cables once each hour (wrap cables around your ankles and see Jane Fonda's work out video for how best to do this) and, above all, don't forget to swap cables from left to right channel every 10 hours to avoid stereo image drift.
