Do Interconnects need to "warm up"?

Interconnects definitely need to be warmed up.

Cable foreplay is a necessary element of the complete audio experience.

The female connectors may take a bit longer to reach peak performance.

Good luck.

very funny Audiofeil:)

Break in, in some cases yes, warm up? not in my experience, probably the electronics. Funny thing about that phenomenon as well, some electronics it is quite obvious there is a warm-up period, ARC amps for instance. So far as my Berning amp I don't notice this at all.

System refresher disc? Wow...I play music through my rig all day (if I'm home) so when guests arrive they have a warmed up system to ignore while I bore the crap out of them describing how cool it all is. Then I change the belt on my Linn to the 45 spool and force them to listen to a single I played on from 1981 that was released only in Japan.

Hey, we have the same friends!"

Oh Wolf you crack me up. I try to describe my system to some of my party guests and they look at me like I'm crazy. They are either bored or thinking why didn't I just buy something from Bose to keep it simple.

I pretty much listen to the same kind music all the time and don't have different kinds/genres of music so I think I often am not working out my speakers enough in the other frequency ranges so I got the Isotek System Refresher Disk to make sure I'm covered. (I can picture you all laughing at me now)

Here is a link about it if you want to know more info.
