Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period.

Almost all the audio equipment including speaker need burn in time.

But I had bad experience with one digital cable recently.

Some people blew the horn on it and claimed burn in time more than 100 hours.

Out of box it had lot of details but etched.

After 8 weeks (around 200 hours) it got little bit better but its overall performance is not better than other digital cable that I have had.

Now it is too late to return it.

Beware of any cable claiming more than 50 hours of burn in time.

The chance is high that you will waste your time and money.

Yeah, their loss, but not really our gain.

About digital coax: get your hands on a piece of Vivanco KX-710 (tv-coax)and a pair of decent rca-plugs. Terminate and have fun

About burn-in:  static charges in the conductor(s) as well as the insulation might be involved, and some pure vodoo on top of this

To get back to "listening for 500 hours'.. well YEAH, if you plug in the cable and press play... I would think playing them to break them in is 'listening to the for 500 hours of break in'. For my recent experience the worst was the near endless break in of the pile of Furutech AC duplex GTX-D NCF Rhodium. The up and down ride for months.. (partially/completely? due to my buying a few then more then more over two months.) was annoying, gratifying and then back to annoying. So I can sympathize with folks stuck with Morrow! If I had any advice about Furutech Rhodium GTX-D NCF??? Buy them COOKED!   
I am glad it is over.. NO more breaking in anything for me.. for awhile..
