Already it's a lot more interesting than talking about cable burn in.

The "how many reviews it got" rule
It's obvious that people only review gears that they like.  I don't know of anyone would go out of their way to bring a bad component they don't like to their place and waste their time for a couple of weeks just for the heck of it.Therefore if a ... 
Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
de minimis In my experience, the larger the listening space, the higher end the system, the more difference cables make.  It's not just smoother treble or deeper bass, but more of a three dimensional presentation of music spatially and audibly.

Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
again, please - someone - anyone - please provide some fact-based explanation as to why speaker cables may require breaking in. I will keep an open mind, but I am unaware of why this would make any difference, or any factual attempt to measu... 
Accuracy vs. musicality
The OP definition of accuracy may not be as well "accurate".His definition of accuracy is probably means "overly emphasis",which is the enemy of musicality.But if we define "accuracy" as being faithful to the source,no more no less then "accuracy"...
