Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period.

@ jayctoy

Choice of cable is dependent on system and personal taste.

If your system is on the forgiving side, then you may be happy with Blackcat cable.

Mine is on the revealing side with plasma tweeters and SET tube amplifiers.

I could not tolerate the slight harshness of the cable.

Upper model of  Blackcat cable could be better.

But without auditioning it, I can not tell.


I had mentioned about Zenwave D4 cable in your thread about Doug's double IC method.

It is quiet good with nice clean details and overall balance.

Somehow  Zenwave D4 is also excellent as digital cable and I ordered 1.5m length at 700$.

Now my cable rolling is over.

I am not the person who keep changing audio components very often.

I will be happy with my system for next 3 or 5 years.

I may try some tube rolling but otherwise I will just enjoy music.

Skhong my system is very balance, a bit forgiving. Iam using blue jeans ic now, my silver BC is on my other system....

Don't cable burns in at the speed of light?

It’s amazing how much exception you take simply to the obvious questions of how you would turn your conjecture in to a testable hypothesis.

Why does this cause you to run around in circles, and shift the burden to me as if I had to somehow disprove YOUR hypothesis??? I mean, do you think it works like this?  You float a hypothesis, and if SOMEONE ELSE doesn't prove it wrong....then you may as well be right and asking for evidence for your claim is just being mean?

You claimed burn-in was a settled question among manufacturers. Again....I dared ask for evidence and I get the X-Files response: "The Truth Is Out There."

Ok. Guess I’ll trust you on that, as you seem to have a good handle on these things.

I agree he does not have to prove anything TO YOU. Clearly no amount of blabber is going to change anyone's mind on anything about cables. All it can be is a pissing contest, generally into the wind... And then the contestants wonder why they end up smelling bad?  Some of it is kind of fun.. mainly to clarify one's own position. But to think it makes any difference? you are plain deluding yourself.Though for the popcorn crowd I am sure it makes for entertainment.
