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.

What I found is that from the first 1/2 hr or so, the cables have a particular sound.   The cables then get worse for a while and then return to the original sound.

+1 Stringreen.  That is how it happens for me.

OP, that is also what I tend to find, although it seems to vary for each product, and sometimes the break-in can be quite long, even really long, and occasionally shortish.
