Do WBT spades need break in?


OK - I know I sound like a crazy audiophile.  

I bought new WBT spades to replace my old school banana connects from about 5 years ago.  I just acquired a pair of kef reference 1's and the old bananas fit poorly and were not in line with the quality of the speakers.  I removed the old connects, fit the WBT's and screwed the wire in tight.

They sounds a bit hollow and confused.  Is there such a thing as spade break in?

Never heard of spades needing a break in but I don’t doubt they did change the sound of your system and it just might be time for your ears to adjust to the difference. Give it some time, 2-300 hours, as I suspect it’s more of adjusting to the change, but maybe there is a break-in period.
