Do speaker cables need a burn in period?

There is only the merest chance he has the same amp as me, but highly unlikely. I will never know.

jetter,

"...it is our ears adjusting to the new and different sound, not the sound itself changing."

How are our ears adjusting to a different sound if the sound itself is not changing?

If it sounds wrong the first time, it will continue to sound wrong, unless you’re some kind of nihilist or defeatist, or your name is eeyore.

I'm adding this so as to not confuse anyone: cables do break in and it's not your ears getting used to them.

All the best,

Somewhere, in a hypothetical forest, a tree fell....😱

Speaker wire burn-in in amplifier specific. So, unless the prior owner used the same make and model amp as you, the cables will act (and sound) like new.

 Ok, just so I am clear, what if the prior owner did in fact use the same make and model amp but.......different speakers??? 🔇🃏
