Siddh, as I have said before I have found the HFCs take increasingly longer to breakin with each new series. I find they always sound fast, but that the soundstage gets increasingly detailed and encompassing as they mature. Sometimes these improvements are big jumps often in the middle of a cut. I do think they breakin starting with the highs and ending with the bass.
I also think there is a symbiotic relationship among HFC cables where an all HFC loom sounds better than the sum of its parts.
I think what is going on with a full loom is that the entire connection from the source to the speakers is being magnetically conditioned.
Finally, I agree with Acman3, that you need more hours of breakin. I have often found that several weeks are needed, and as I said, my HFC URs really didn't settle down for over a month. I also should note that other than with my first hearing of them did I have but one HFC cable.
If you take them off of connecting one component and put them connecting another, you will probably have to wait overnight to hear them sound right.
Oh, and don't let any of the cables touch the carpet or wood floors.
