Do speaker cables need a burn in period?

No, they don’t exist, glubby. It’s all some kind of weird dream I made up. What’s the difference?

geoffkait,

The difference is that claims you have made about wires/fuses and their effects lose validity when supporting statements are based on fabrication.

In short, your claims regarding directionality and its effects have been deemed worthless in discussion about audio reproduction.

@blueranger - you make an interesting point.  I read a piece by Harry Pearson (RIP) in the Absolute Sound decades ago where he basically said that there are unexplainable truths/realities in Audio reproduction due to the limitations of our scientific knowledge.  He asked the question about whether we, audiophile hobbyists, felt that science had/has ALL the answers at this point.  He obviously felt it didn't.  While, to this day, I'm still undecided I'll admit that he's still got me wondering!;)

Ah, again, the process of belief trumps all, always, every time and then some.

Keep believing the nonsense and you will hear whatever you want to hear.

But, it’s not science. Never was and never will be.

>>>It certainly appears you’ve psyched yourself out, sir. You are deluded that you have some sort of mind over matter ability. Take two placebos and see me in the morning. I’ll be the judge of what’s science, if you don’t mind. I don’t know what a lot of people use the expression our understanding of science, as if we all have the same knowledge. Besides even knowledgeable scientists can disagree. You don’t think they’re all cookie cutouts, do you?
