How about crossover? Do they need break-in?


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?

They don't need any more breaking in, but they could benefit by
being wrapped once around a Shakti Stone for a fortnight.

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.

Do you think that CD's would benefit from that much burn in? (What about LP's?)
And if so does that mean that the burn in CD for cable should be burned
in before using it to burn in the cables? In fact should all test discs be
burned in before
using them to set up a system? Good grief think how many sound systems have been

improperly set up because the test disc was used while still 'green'.
Oh, the humanity.

No..No...they apply the oppiste treatment for CDs. Instead of burn-in try
"cool-in". Something like freezing the CDs, i think that's quite a popular
tweaks that you will find plenty of information googling.
