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?

My pleasure, and btw your comments started the ball rolling on that deluge of verbiage, and then that listening session I mentioned earlier kicked it into overdrive.

Its funny, that "mystery" cable was not bad at all, in fact it had a very good voicing, but the head scratching part was trying to figure out what was missing and why, because it was so uninvolving ( almost like listening to bad digital ).

And then it came back to your comment about one note bass.
taras22: "for giggles" huh?

You had already dismissed the Belden-based cable before you even listened.

Subjectivity and the process of belief rule over any quantitative, objective assessment, any way, any time.

No wonder people are walking away from this so-called hobby. Reality is meaningless.
Yeah, because I had a great deal of previous experience with that cable. Yesterday was just a re-visit to re-confirm.

And btw very sorry if that seemed like an insult to your cables of choice. In my defense I just didn’t know.
Right now, Kitty Kat has a special on the curious little clock and salvaged transatlantic cable. Sublime!  🐍💩🙀
