Sound of cables breaking in?

When I try cables, of various types, I find that when I first put them in, they give me a little taste of what they will sound like after they are broken in. Then, things get strange, and the sound can vary all over the place, until they finally settle in.

Who else has similar experience? I'm thinking people sometimes give up on a particular cable during this volatile period, and never get to what it really sounds like.

lak,

the Cable Cooker is definitely on my list of things to get. Do you have the adapter to do grounds? That's reported to make a difference, as well.

pc997,

Assuming the cables don't have any obvious problems with the quality of construction or materials used,

If youโ€™re talking about properties that are measurable with test equipment, I am not aware of any that are really useful for this purpose, but they may exist.

If you are talking about measurable with your ears, then there are many. The most important one, in my opinion, is; how much are you enjoying the music?
