Cable Breakin


Just received a pair of HiDiamond 8 speaker cable. Out of the box they seem to be very laid back and lacking presence. Do these cables change with breakin and how long does breakin typically take?

it is well known that electrical fields around the cable settle in with the new environment as well

I am sure someone else can explain this better than me...

4 days and 16 hours seems about right

;^)
I have been an audiophile for 60 years and have purchased many cables and have never experienced such a radical change in the sound of a SC. In fact have always found little or no breakin for any cables. Just reporting what I heard with these cables

I never bought the HiDiamond speaker cables, but all of my HiDiamond power cords and interconnects took many hours to break in. So give them some time.

Your experience is 180' different from mine with many many cables passing through my system ranging from inexpensive to ultra expensive. I guess we have very very different systems.
