need help breaking in speaker cables


i want to break in two pair of speaker cables. i could connect them to my stereo system, but i don't want to leave a tube amp on for over 100 hours at a time.

is there a device, other than the audio darma which can efficiently pass a signal through a speaker cable, without using a stereo system for this purpose ?

hi timrhu:

i never thought about the break in process as a source of enjoyment. i consider it a nuisance and inconvenience.

i'm interested in the long run, namely, how the stereo system sounds after the speaker cable has broken in.

i would like to accelerate the process of break in. i would prefer not running my tube amp any longer than possible.

in addition, since i am borrowing the cable, there is a limited amount of time i have to evaluate the speaker cable.
it is prudent to find a way to make an intelligent judgment sooner rather than later.

yes, you have a point about break in. a component's performance may degrade after several hundred hours. i need to be able to get to the point where i can hear the true sound of the cable sooner rather than later.
