Drubin .. sometimes changing cables can improve the connection. A connection left in place for a long time can be prone to oxidation and dirt. I have had this experience once or twice when my system has had to be moved after several years of no changes. Also cleaning terminals with contact cleaner and replacing cables can have a profound effect.
Equipment Break-in: Fact or Fiction
Is it just me, or does anyone else believe that all of the manufacturers' and users' claims of break-in times is just an excuse to buy time for a new users' ears to "adjust" to the sound of the new piece. Not the sound of the piece actually changing. These claims of 300+ hours of break-in for something like a CD player or cable seem outrageous.
This also leaves grey area when demo-ing a new piece as to what it will eventually sound like. By the time the break-in period is over, your stuck with it.
I could see allowing electronics to warm up a few minutes when they have been off but I find these seemingly longer and longer required break-in claims ridiculous.
