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.

Note: Do not use a cable cooker on Teo Audio cables. Music signal break in only.

New technology, new medium for conducting electricity = new rules, new norms -new ways of doing things.

teo_audio, that makes sence. I'd also add don't use a cable cooker on HFC either.

That’s a modification of standard conductivity.

The liquid metal is truly a new method. The math and the theory of liquid metal conductivity is so complex and involves so many phenomena that it is unsolved by science. Science is still defining and finding the parameters of the question. It will probably remain unsolved for quite some time. :)
