@randy-11,  what is your source on 'Wire do not'? 

I always experience better 'sound' in my system after few hundred hours of playing time with new equipments and wires. I call it 'settling' period but I do like 'dragon_vibe' answer better :-)

Here is one theory from a renowned cable maker, 

"During the manufacturing process, as insulation is extruded over the conductors, gases can become trapped. This combined with the high electrical charges often found in new cables, result in a brittle and bright sound that lacks the detail and depth desired for music reproduction. There are couple of ways to resolve above referenced issues. One way to burn-in your cables is to simply hook them up in your home audio system and play music for a minimum of 100 hours. However, the best solution is to treat your cables using a designated cable burn-in device". 

I suspect you’ll find his source is the little voice in his head.

There is just no point in arguing in a forum whether "burn in" of something (anything) is real or not.  Either you have tried this and noticed a difference, or not.  I have experienced the changes with burn-in many times and with all sorts of component parts including capacitors, resistors, wire and, yes, power outlets.  There is no question in my mind that the effects are real but I would hardly try to persuade someone else of this by words.  You just have to try it yourself.  If you do and you don't notice any difference, fine.  That will make your life a lot simpler since you won't have to wait hundreds of hours before evaluating a change in components.  You can just do it, listen, and move on.  But your experience will not prove there is no difference, only that you didn't detect any.  And stating your opinion in all capital letters doesn't make it any more valid. 

 The truth is that this is like a discussion about religion. The faithfull will remain faithfull regardless and the opposing sides will never agree but there can be mutual respect. In the end most of us are in it for the music and the enjoyment it brings us so happy listening.

It’s not like religion at all. The naysayers here don’t have any real arguments. They only call names. That’s the level of their argument. They whinny and bray. At least in religion there are two sides, somewhat on a level playing field, each with coherent arguments. Unlike in this discussion.
