DNM Stereo speaker cables-experiences?

I recently am enjoying an experiment with DNM solid core speaker cables, the newest version. They are connected to LS3/5a speakers from a tube amp as single wire not bi-wire.

My questions; do these cables need to burn-in, or is that all a myth?

Do you think that these cheap cables can really compete with, say, Zu cables or Kimber cables for example, especially in the bass department. I'm finding them to be a bit 'wooden' overall, and a bit lacking in bass definition. It may be that I am being presented with a soundscape which is simply different (to my Kimber Monocles) and I'm comparing cables rather than enjoying music!

Your experiences appreciated.

Mapleshade has some wires with similar minimalist design approach that I would like to audition someday.

I have several Mapleshade CDs that deliver unique binaural like sound on my main rig with all DNM reson ICs currently.
