yeah, that's not very persuasive.... he may very well be correct but he's not convincing anyone with that :P

I figured it was at the very least, a non-audiophile forum...not trying to do any convincing, you either here it or you don't I guess.   >:D

I'm not overly skeptical of the idea of cable burn in, a few engineers I know have convinced me that there is some burn-in... I think some people over hype it though

imho, i believe in the burn-in process. on an atomic level, nothing is static (unless you're at absolute zero... 0 deg. Kelvin). electrons are in constant motion and carry the charge from one point of the cable to another. + and - polarities exist.  simple facts that can not be ignored.

with that said, the QUANTIFIABLE difference between a fresh cable and one that has been burned-in is a small one. not an "in-your-face" difference. it could be a minute change in depth perception, or a change in how the treble/bass is perceived. but the fact remains that there IS a difference.

this is pretty much my position after hearing nearly the same thing from several engineer friends as well as from marc.....

OK, well not to stay on point or anything, but do you guys who believe that burn-in is an audible effect think that the cooker I suggested is the right thing to do?
