"Burn In" Question

I have burned in cables using the VCR. You do not have to turn the volume up on your amp for it to work. I also leave my class a/b solid state equipment on 24 hours a day as well as my CD player. Otherwise it takes along time (at least a couple of hours or so) for them to warm up and sound their best. I even notice that the CD player sounds better after it has "played" a half a CD or so even though it is never turned off. Could be my imagination, but I don't think so.

Thank you for the clear guidelines Bob. You have explained why it took so long for my silver interconnects to break in. I was told otherwise regarding the the preamp selector switch. My 300+ hours of breakin was in reality only about 200+ hours, since we were listening to music during the day from another source. I have a new pair of interconnects on the way that should only take a week, now that I have finally got it.

Hi Osclib. Let us know what you think of the Homegrown's when they are fully cooked. I really like mine and ordered a .5 meter pair in addition to the ones that I have. I am also expecting a pair of used Harmonic Tech. Truthlinks to try out with poorly engineered (50% of our collection) CD's.
