Hi I though it would be an interesting thread to start.

Burn in of speaker cables, how long for what dielectric. What's your
experiences?

Bare OFC 5N + PVC +48hrs
Bare OFC 4N + PE about 1 hour
ive not tried Silver+ Teflon yet (need an overdraft 1st)


My experience is that speakers do not burn-in and wires do not burn-in. Unless
they're driven so hard they become fuses.

The only case of serious burn-in I've encountered was a melted cone and
seriously rubbing voice coil of a 6.5-inch woofer under EIA 426-B conditions.

That ain't breaking -in it's breaking !!!
