Can someone explain what cable "burn in" is? I can understand amps needing burn-in and of course speakers... but cables?
I don't get it.. Essssplain it to me, Lucy!

The whole cable debate can fall into this category....To me it is sounds like more "mumbo jumbo".
it could be taken as the listener is "burning in" or getting used to the sound
Consider:
Were this phenomena universal, our computers would run faster, our refrigerators run colder, our table lamps would be a little bit brighter. In fact, anything utilising the flow of electrons should "burn in" to more efficiency. Yet in the whole history of electricity it is only in High End Audio that considerable effort money has been invested in pursuit of.
I have had the opportunity to do this test with a couple of cable manufactures that I owned and both company cables did change over time - some quicker than others. My player has two outputs on it and with a quick switch on the Pre Amp I can change back and forth from one cable to the other. It is about the only test where you can quickly make a change to determine the difference. Swapping out components is a whole new story.
