Right from the horse's mouth. In irony he reaches epiphany.
Tell me, John. Do you put your broken in cable on little stands to elevate it off the floor?😀
Buring in cables
I burned my new speaker and RCA-RCA cables and what a difference it made. I am amazed how well this buring process works.
Oh I forgot, before you burn your cables you MUST remove all the old tired electrons and replace them with brand new electrons otherwise the buring process will NOT work.
I purchased my new electrons from a great source on Ebay, the absolute best price on brand spanking new electrons.
Before I listened to my "burnt" cables, I had a guy come by with a SPECIAL marking machine and he marked which end of my various cables should be the source and which end the destination. This is of utmost importance because once you have replaced the old electrons with new ones, they MUST be told in which direction to run. If you have no markings the electrons run into each other as they are still pretty dumb and this muddies the sound like hell.
I also put in some new $7,000-00 1 metre IEC cables and wow the background noise just went...well I do not know where it went but it went!
The mids and highs just opened up and even my pet bat could hear the difference at 87KHz.
I wonder what difference will be heard once I rewire my house with more of this $7K/m cable and I also plan to use it all the way to the local distribution transformer as well.
I have applied to Ms Pelosi for permission to also replace the cable from my local distribution transformer to the generating plant at the Hoover dam. Hope she will let me do this.
Last but not least I also installed those great $69 cable lifters (Yep $69 PER lifter made of some KOOL looking wood stuff!). Now these bad boys just improved my sound no end and I also plan to install these lifters all the way to Hoover dam because if I don't then my sound will rwally suck.

Since nobody here, including the highly educated, cannot and will not take cables or their need for break-in seriously, and would rather lie about what they have done and tried, I rest my case.
Instead of resorting to wallowing in self-pity, why don't you offer up something that can be taken seriously instead of unsubstantiated speculation?
The case for cable break-in simply isn't going to be made by way of self-pity, speculation, or the stomping of feet and rending of garments.

Nope. No physical evidence. No plausibility argument. No actual listening tests. Nothing. Nada. Zero. Zilch. Zip. Zot. Bupkis. Duck egg. Cipher. Blank. Naught. Not at all. In no respect. Nichts. Rien. Null.
What I am is a guy who has professionally designed audio equipment of almost all kinds for more than 40 years. That gives me 'credibility' with some, and hatred from others.
I attempted to teach everyone here, high education and low, something that they may never have considered, with measured evidence. However, I can't get anybody to look at the material, help me with its interpretation, or even attempt to understand what is already in print. That's life!

Although I'm agnostic as far as this issue goes, knowing that your age isn't in the 20's I volunteer to do some of the leg work. I might even learn something in the process. Can you please point (publicly or privately) to references: either books, journals, or conference articles which contain the information that validates your point? I'm willing to find them and help with that material if you'd like. A true teacher would do that.
Maybe God has a sense of humor after all?
Either that or he thought no-one was looking.

THe book that I was quoting from is: 'ELECTRON MICROSCOPY OF INTERFACES IN METALS AND ALLOYS' By Forwood and Clarebrough
I found the cheapest copy on Amazon for $37.50 as of this morning. It has pictures and everything of copper migration. It surprised me, when I first saw it. You can get a few sample pages if you try.
