DNM Stereo speaker cables-experiences?


I recently am enjoying an experiment with DNM solid core speaker cables, the newest version. They are connected to LS3/5a speakers from a tube amp as single wire not bi-wire.

My questions; do these cables need to burn-in, or is that all a myth?

Do you think that these cheap cables can really compete with, say, Zu cables or Kimber cables for example, especially in the bass department. I'm finding them to be a bit 'wooden' overall, and a bit lacking in bass definition. It may be that I am being presented with a soundscape which is simply different (to my Kimber Monocles) and I'm comparing cables rather than enjoying music!

Your experiences appreciated.

I recently changed out to DNM interconnects, replacing MIT cables. Initially I wasn't sure about what I thought was leanness in the bass, but over time I came to like the DNM bass- quicker, more articulate. On the mids and highs they are very clean and detailed, so I was willing to accept the bass, given how good the upper end was. My speakers were already pretty powerful on bass, so perhaps I had some room to tradeoff bass in favor of better trebles/mid.
