Nordost Heimdall XLR interconnect break-in time

Hi Mike how do you think of Heimdall IC in general? I'm relatively new in all these. I bought them from Music Direct because they are on sale and ranked pretty high on popularity index.

my experience is for Heimdall 2 power cords. they took 48 hours to change sound character for the better. i think the next hurdle for even better break-in is 100 hours.

hope am being helpful.

I have the NORDOST XLR FREYs with about 100 hours on them, and the cables are still not yet broken in.

my guess: 300 hrs appears about right

I have Heimdall interconnect and speaker cables. The dealer reckoned 300 hours for the interconnect and even longer for the speaker cable

Wow! These high end cables are fussy! I think the 300hrs is so that YOUR EARS actually tell YOUR BRAIN that you are hearing difference and that makes you feel good about spending tons of money on cables! LMAO! Give me a break-in-period!
