Volume settings affect on speaker cable burn in ?

Would like to know if low volume settings will burn in speaker cables at the same rate as high volume settings.

Most of the direction-specified speaker cables are already broke in using hing voltage/current sources. You can create an adapter for AC socket for burning in speaker cables.

You can temporarily wire the speakers out of phase & then place them facing each other to dim some of the racket. Don't run any AC line voltage through a networked cable or even use a Duotech enhancer; the DC component will burn up the networks. Expect reasonable results within 100 hours & completion around 200+ hours.
