Cable re-burn in


How long does it take for an already burnt in cable to re-burn in back to optimal? I'm doing a lot of interconnect and speaker cable comparisons and sometimes a cable will sit unused for several hours to several days. Is it a fair comparison to A/B one cable against another when cable "B" has sat for unused foe 3 days?

Can't recall comedy (is it American Pie?) where kids tried to "rewind" odometer placing "Corvette" on the reverse gear:-)
I just purchased a pair of ( lightly used ) Silnote Morpheus Ref 2 interconnects, and cold they sounded slightly dark and muted...After about 10-15 hours ( actual playing time ) ...The improvement was unreal...Hard to believe,but quite a change///I put them on Cd player overnight ( on repeat ) , and the next day,they were considerably better...
The movie was Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The car was a vintage Ferrari which fell of the jack, crashed through the window and drove down a steep ravine.
Ferris Bueller is correct. I can still recall the look on the owners son's face when it went through the glass. Purely dismayed. Great movie BTW!
The temperature of your room will affect the burn in time and most high quality cables need minimum 150 hours burn in time whether they are new or used. You will know when they are broken in because the artist/band will start to play outside the actual speakers and there will be a ton more emotion in each cut compared to when the cables were moved around or reconnected. Also try and keep cables off carpet as static electricity can cause problems with certain brands. Once the cables are in a warm room and not being moved around or on carpet they normally only need 5 minutes of warm up.
