Cable re-burn in

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.

Thanks for reminding. Great movie I agree. Just made my point on how to reverse burn-in LOL!:-)

Can excessive gear burn-in lead to burn-in burnout? Can you be burned by listening to non burned-in gear? Can burn-in lead to burn up in extreme cases? If you lower the temperature of a listening room does your cable reverse burn-in? Is reverse burn-in also a form of burnout? Somebody give me a QUINTIC!

I have always been skeptical about cable burn in.

Last week I recommissioned a pair of bi-wire AQ Caldera speak cables that I plan to sell here on AGon. Initially the sound I go was terrible. Dark, hazy sound with no stage depth or width. I would have immediately swapped them back out but had worked up a sweat installing them so I let them be and kept music on throughout the day as I tooled around the house.

The next day things sounded much better and by last night I was considering leaving them in and selling my Transparent Ultra XL cables instead.

If there not XLR look around for a Duotech cable burner. It burns Cables and Speaker cables. Hook up cables, plug in and turn on. It plays white noise through the cables,you can't hear it though. Look on Ebay.
