How does the sound change as power cables burn in?


What are the key changes you have experienced? Which cable? In which characteristic? How long does it take? How big was the change? etc

All horse crap when thinking you hear a difference from new to burnt in.

Having the same cable, one with no hrs. And one with 10 billion hrs and I did an A/B Without the listener knowing what cable was what he would not be able to pick out the new cable @ 80% of the time.

If you can you get a free Charlie Brown CD.

Most of this hobby is head games and I have played them many times with wire.
Cable threads are better than free admission to an amusement park.

And there's no long lines with smelly people standing alongside you.
depends on how long it takes for your ears to acclimate to the sounds of different components or different cables...your ears will ajust to the new sounds over time...
Whenever I have gotten a new power cord I just put it on a piece of equipment that will pass current through it for 240 hours or so and then install it in my system and listen. The sound of my system with the power cable in place is what it is.

I know I have no baseline to compare what the cord sounded like before and after burn-in but my reasoning for doing this is that pretty much every burn in thread I've come across has stated aftermarket cables change/improve the SQ of your component after 200 hours or so of break in. To me why go through the trouble of the swapping back and forth and wondering. Just run the cable in and listen.
