Does Power Cord Require Burn-In To Sound Good?


I recently bought a new power cord but there isn’t much difference in sound quality between this new cord and the previous Wireworld Elektra 7 which it replaces. The cords are used on the DAC.

Any ideas if the cord needs to burn in to open up and sound better? It currently has about 5 hours on it and I think I prefer the sound quality of the previous cord which costs 10 times cheaper.

Any thoughts appreciated.

I assume you have a power conditioner of some type.  If not I would suggest a Shunyata with their cords which have been broken before shipping.   Use NR cables for equipment and XC cable to connect from the wall outlet to the power conditioner.   Also, replace your wall outlet if you have not done so with a hospital-grade outlet.   The outlet will provide better wall connectivity.
