Do Cables Wear Out?


A fellow Hi - Fi friend was explaining particle breakdown in cables after years of use and loud rock use will bring demise sooner. Anyone have knowledge of this?

Cables tied to the bedposts perhaps?

Normally for audio use, cables should last until the insulation hardens and cracks or until the copper corrodes away, which is probably of the order of decades... if not centuries.
Since I regularly use my interconnects to whip my girlfriends, the termination on my cables usually lasts no more than a couple weeks before flying apart during a particularly heatd session.
Word has it there's a little known subset of Audiophile Opus Dei. They self-flagellate with power cord cat-o-nine tails. Lordy.
I only use Acoustic Zen or Z Squared because of their extra abrasive jackets.
