I wonder if she's also into music?  What type of system does she have?  Is she tube or solid state?

That is why I mentioned that existence of burn-in may not be important. Regardless of if it exists or not, what can you do about it? It is not worth getting all riled up about it. All joking aside, for the consumers, cable burn in may not be imp...
