Cable Burn-In Question Interconnect & Speaker

Dave

I just burned mine in on my system playing music.

With the known fact that Audio Cables (Interconnect & Speaker) benefit greatly from the Burn-In process

The vast majority of electrical engineers and scientists would dispute this statement. There is no process that has been documented that would explain it satisfactorily.

"There is no process that has been documented that would explain it satisfactorily".

Not sure that's a reason to denounce something.

As for "Science", well we know a whole lot less than we think we do. Just because "scientists" dispute something- or support it- doesn't mean it's absolute. Remember Eugenics? Pre-Frontal Lobotomy? Thallidomide (sp)? Martian Canals? Malaria Theories? Celebrex? Silicone Implants? Asbestos? Lead Paint? I'd keep going but I don't have all night :)

As for Electrical Engineers- my Brother AND Sister in-law are both Electrical engineers, and they both tell me in detail why Zenith TV's are the best. So, there goes their credibility :)

There's a fine line between belief and knowledge.

BTW- I've heard burn in take place in my own system, so count me among the heretics.

Denounce? I didn't read that in Shadorne's post.
How about doubt? Is that authorized here?

If you have a tube preamp, then run your tuner or cable box 24/7 into your preamp with the rest of the system including the preamp turned off. Do one pair of ICs at a time. Or if you have a solid state preamp, you can have the preamp on and burn in both pairs of ICs at the same time while the amp is off.
About 100 hours of burn-in should give you an idea about how the cable will sound like eventually. Some cables may take longer to burn in.
