Now you have got me worried! Should I have broken in my new cables? They
are
a kind of copper wire and they are a bit longer than the old ones, can
anyone tell me if I'm missing out on that final ounce of performance?


Oh yes, you need to break in the cable. If I am not mistaken Sheffield Lab
got Burn in Cd for cable, speakers and probably others. That's the view of
many.

But having said that, I have not heard any significant difference because it
is my habit to let things run for about 50 hours or so before listening. The
only thing which i noticed of break in was after changing some caps i.e
black gates, hovland which I think it probably improved the sound after
about 100 hours. Others I am not so sure. And, I do not want to debate on
this.
