bought some interconnects from Marc to run from my 148>modsbm1. Do these really need to burn in? and how? do I have to hook up the entire setup other than the recorder? Thanks, Marc.
-
both devices need to be turned on in order for the current to pass through the conductors
-
I've got some new interconnects on their way, as well. What's the optimal time for burning them in?
:)

depends on what they are. Some people report 50hrs others 200hrs depending on what the ICs are made of. Best thing is to install them between a reciever and preamp and just let them run for a few weeks with the reciever playing. I don't have a reciever so I strung mine between the cable box stereo out ports and the TV audio inputs because the cable box is always on. That said, I refer you to my first comment because I didn't really percieve any difference when I tried to burn in my venhaus pulsars. I did percieve a big difference when I had them cryo'd.

the last conversation I had with Marc he had me convinced that 50 hours was probably over kill, 15 hours is more inline with what the cables need

Thanks, guys !!
:)

thanks all. ;D
but is any burn in beneficial when running into a shitmapper. ;) ;D

I've heard the same thing. I run mine through a receiver and just let 'em burn overnight. Usually good to go after that.

well...when you put it that way....yeah ;)

I'd love to see a documented double blind test where anyone can tell a difference on any system with any material.
me too, but I think I hear it in speakers and cable
also, the science behind it seems reasonable enough to me and I have many bright EE friends who believe in some burn in, good enough for me :)

me three. that being said, i made a 6' set of xlr interconnects for v3>dv-ra1000 and they've been burning in for around 36 hours :)

so i'm getting ready to burn in my bumble bee cables and ic's and jwmod460's. so i connect everything up, just like at a show, minus the recorder and just let it sit there for 50+ hours? I have an ac adapter for my V3, so i could let it go even longer. but in a quiet room with no real sound, is there even a signal passing or is it just current that matters?
-
How much burn time required for 30ft mics cables. Would it really hurt anything to run as normal at a show with little or no burn time?

It only took a few minutes to burn in my Schoeps actives.
