Dedicated lines- need break in?


Surely a, stupid question of the day!
Finally had 2X 20 amp dedicated lines installed with Oyaide outlets with isolated grounds. Hooked up sources and preamp to the lines to start with......, and sound is much clearer and as a result slightly on thinner side (in comparison, although still anything but analytical). I know it is not Oyaide outlets because I had them connected on regular lines and they sounded warmer. (I have electrician coming back today to try out different phase than the refrigerator, ac, microwave etc. to check if the current in phase circuit breaker is not causing the change in sound)

So the question is, in your experience, the new 20 amp lines need to be broken in? How long does it need to be? or what could be the cause?

Thanks,

Nil

From a closed mind comes nothing new no matter how much that mind wishes to believe it knows all. The closed mind can only parrot what it has been taught. Is it any wonder then that the closed mind eschews original exploration that could lead to self discovery and knowledge in favor of the same old staid and tired theories; the observations of others?

Do you mean connected to an earth ground other than the main earth ground of the main electrical service? "

No It is connected to same ground at the panel. The electrician said isolated means isolated from other grounds down stream of main panel.

The phase change did make the lines ultra quiet. Among few pluses to the sound at first listen: Increased liveliness, dynamics and jump factor, minimum grain, more focus. Minuses: slightly smaller images, less warmer than before (I had almost zero unnatural highs)

Well, Thanks for all the responses. Both for break-in and not. Thanks for the fun guys. Like I said I expected this to be considered by many a stupid question of the day ;-) I researched the archive and did not find anything about dedicated power lines break-in so I thought worth asking your experiences. Of course, I tend to believe credible answers are the ones from those who have dedicated lines installed and went thru 'learning/listening" experiences first hand.

I do believe in cable break-in (for reasonable amount of time) and thought the brand new wires probably need run in time.

Oh well, I still have my 15 amp regular outlets to fall back to get my original perfect sound back. I will let new lines burn in though for a week or so, just to find out (for $$$ total costat least I should give it a try- those Oyaide outlets and front machined Alum plate ain't cheap , nor the lines install cost)

I will report back.

Keep the responses coming. Happy New year to all.
Too open a mind and trash falls in. Be a realist. It seems to me that it takes a very closed mind to believe every tweak and oddball belief that is spread about with a very large shovel by people who lack any understanding of how electricity works. Not believing in Voodoo doesn't automatically make someone have a closed mind.
I think Musicslug's got a great idea, but no doubt the magic crystal crowd will make up some obscurity to protest the results.

Oh. Wait. You DO have a have a clever little clock in the system, right? If not, all bets are off.

Anyway, if you want to believe, you will - - - drink deeeeply of the kool-aid and you will believe......
Nilthepill,
Give that new line more then just one more week- give it a month and you'll be surprised how much different it will sound from today (still it may not be your cup of tea). As a side, you'd be surprised just how strong a signature that expensive duplex is having on the overall sound of your system. Try searching this site for a comprehensive review of duplexes (I cannot remember it's author but it turned me onto the power of AC duplexes).

Happy new year!
