Why do cables need break-in?


I just had the experience of having newly introduced speaker cables (AudioQuest AQ-8 bi-wire) break in. When I put them in a few days ago they sounded thin, bright and lacking in bass. Now, after 4 days and 40 - 50 hours, they sound far better: relatively neutral frequency spectrum with much more bass weight. I'm delighted, of course, but I'd like to know why this happens. Will I experience the same scenario when I change interconnects?

Unless, of course, your electronics generates relatively unintelligent electrons which will never discover, nor remember if they do, the path of least resistance.
Sndsel, how about IQ testing and coaching of unintelligent electrons for the latest tweak? Might be some dough in it , if you market it right.
We might call it ACUE ...Assessment Center for Unintelligent Electrons.

Detlof, LOL! How about TRAINING thus challenged electrons to enhance their skills. Huge market: "Goodbuy expensive cabling, hello expensive (electrons) training!"

Sorry, Pendragn, I'm off subject.

Cheers!
