Does Newly Soldered Cables Require Run-In?

I just got my speaker cables reterminated with banana plugs. Does the solder require run-in, and if yes for how long?

This question arises as I noticed a slight reduction in holographic image with the newly-soldered wires. Thanks.

The dielectric of the cables themselves need to settle back in? I assume you coiled them up for shipping and vice versa shipping back to you.....

Agree wires that have been moved around a lot, or unused for awhile, need to settle back in.

Thanks for all responses. Okay after 2 days of run-in the sound has opened up. Time to listen to some classical tunes now. Cheers.
