Do speaker cables need a burn in period?

Everything has to be the same for your special speaker wires to perform as if they are "burned in". Amp, speakers, vitamins for your power source, etc. They all must match or the wire will sound just like any other ole new wire. When shopping for old  speaker wires, be sure to ask the seller how the wires were burned in.

When you erect a monument in memory of my valorous fight, please get the likeness right - I look like a cross between prime era Clint Eastwood and Brad Pitt, if that helps ;-)
