Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period.

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.

"It took over 300 hours to really sound great."

What do you think is happening within the cable over those 300 hours that would alter the sound?

>>>>Unbelievable.

Believable. 

No, what was unbelievable I thought, was someone who has been through these burn in discussions many times, asking “what’s causing the long burn in times?” since, you know, it’s all been covered ad nauseam. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking, “what’s been covered ad nauseam?” 😛

This just reminds me of the Morrow thread from a little while ago.

When the return period is shorter than the break-in period, you know there's a problem.

That was my thread. I tried to return a $600 (my cost, not Mike Morrow's fake cost) set of IC's that were in pristine condition 4 days late and Mike Morrow told me to F myself. That was after spending a lot of money on phono cables that I found satisfactory. Then when I went to sell my pristine but crappy IC's with some spoofing in my ad copy about Mike Morrow's film-flam advertising, I am 99% certain he hired a shill to buy the cables in order to put an end to my ad that made fun of him.  I was a fool for buying and a fool for selling. I've since graduated to far better phono cables (German-made Firewire) so maybe I will list the phono cables with the same spoof for $1000 to make it more expensive for MM to silence me from telling the truth.
