Cyclonicman,
I have to admit to being a skeptic about cable break-in. There is no physical property of metal that I am aware of that changes due to electrons bumping into each other in the wire. This has been described as one of the top-ten audio myths in a number of articles.
Even anti-cable's website describes the break-in as being due to the plastic insulator used on most cables and since anti-cables have very little, any break-in affect would be minimal.
It is more likely our ears and brain that break-in (adapt to the cables) and not vice-versa. (In another article, I mentioned Oliver Sach's book "Musicophilia" that describes the amazing intersection of neurology and music. In one experiment, sections of music were ommitted from the recording and listeners did not notice, the brain had actually "filled in" the missing bits). This is different for mechanical devices like speakers, that do change because of mechanical movements.
Just my humble opinion.
