One and a half Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 The cable is best out of the box of conjecture and put to use to the design spec. While others may answer in the meantime and apply equal parallel arguments and waste more time and space, the cable will still be working to spec.

kilroy Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Install it and run a signal through it non stop for a week or two. You can turn the amp off or mute the speakers when not listening, just keep the signal going through. Others say the cable needs "rest" periods, so do the same thing with 12 hours signal on, 12 off. You'll need to double the length of time for the burn in. Link to comment

NOMBEDES Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I always recommend breaking in new USB cables with a color printer for a few months. +1, I use a $10,000 USB cable on my HP printer. I get blacker blacks and whiter whites....no wait, the whites are whiter with Tide.

arcman Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Troll. However, I'm sure there's plenty of people who get stressed over such thing. My "break in theory" with all things is "is break in how you use it". Hook the cables up and use them. Hook the speakers up and use the. etc. If the newer item is not sounding better than the items you are replacing "out of the box", then it's the wrong component (assuming that is why you are replacing). You may LEARN to like it over time, however, IMO that is not from breaking in. Breaking in will open it up a tad and you may like something better. However, the general characteristics should show itself right off the bat. Link to comment
