How long....Silver....How Long?


I bought an Analysis Plus Silver Ovals speaker cables( used). Right now, I have it connected for 24 hrs. straight playing music. The sound is okay but not impressive, it's a little bit harsh still. From one of the posting that I made, a member commented that for silver, it takes longer to "break in" the cables. My question is as follows:
1. For used cables(such as mine), does expected break in periods still apply?
2. Roughly, how long should I wait until the cables shows its natural sound? Or at least a hint of it.
3. Is it premature to say that the cable is not a good match in my system?

all comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

thanks

I've seen posts from Bob Crump in the past on this--his point is that if the cables were shipped via air, there would be a static electricity buildup which could affect the performance and require a bit of break-in. He suggested spraying them with an anti-static spray and let 'em cook a couple of days. Don't know if that applies in this case, but thought I'd mention it.
