Why manufactures don´t burn in their amps and ...

I had to keep my lastest new car under 3K RPM's for the first 1K mile, and I like many others, I didn't like the OEM tires. Some manufacturers aren't convinced that power cords make much difference. For that matter, manufacturer's don't offer "...good (or the "right") interconnects or speaker cables.

I am a newbie wanna be audiophile so......

Personally, I don't believe that a power cord will make a detectable difference. I've never been able to detect one anyway. I've also never been to a hifi shop that has told me a different power cord will make a difference. Never had a dealer demonstrate different power cords. BTW, I'd love to be proved wrong!

The only cable I believe that makes a difference is speaker cable and that is barely detectable to my ears.

It's critically important to "burn in" any component.

The initial burn in period will just exceed the length of time during which you would have been allowed to return the component.

The remainder of the burn in period will just exceed the length of the manufacturers warrantee.

No conclusions should be drawn regarding the performance or reliability of any component until fully "burned in".

Shorter return periods, warrantees and/or egregious restocking fees will all shorten the length of time it takes to burn in a component.

Cost, pure and simple. If tubes are involved, the catch would be that 'used' would need to be put into the spec's.

With exception of speakers, the 'burn in' is a myth to get you into the rituals of the hobby. Double blind test, the only true way of telling, has proved time and time again it is not necessary.

Most performance vehicles do require driving at limited RPM's for the first few thousand miles of seating the pistons. Porsche's is about 2000 miles. I would guess that manufactures don't break in audio gear because it takes 300-400 hours of constant running sometimes within the context of being within a system with a signal running through (speakers and amplifiers). Ultimately it probably just doesn't make economic sense. OTOH, I see no reason, given the modest cost of materials involved, for any high-end manufacturer to provide "better" power cords. Again, I'm sure the reason is economic in that the more they can keep manufacturing cost down the more appealing to the consumer, the better it may look in the face of competition, and the more potential profit. It's the kind of thing where if one manufacturer starts a trend, other's may follow.
