Do speaker cables need a burn in period?

I have heard some say that speaker cables do need a 'burn in', and some say that its totally BS.
What say you?

The length of burn-in will vary, usually the better the cables the longer but not always.

You'll notice the biggest changes in the first few days to a week and gradual changes thereafter but it will take time. All the best, Nonoise
