why in the world do you have to listen while the cables are breaking in???
The quality of power in the USA is really good (compared to other countries) & stable + many of you have s.s. gear so why don't you let the stereo play 24/7 for a 1-2 weeks at really low volumes to allow faster break-in (assuming you do not have a cable cooker)? (I had my system running for 3 straight weeks 24/7 to break in all the V-D cables but I listened to my bedroom rig all that time. Sure I missed my reference rig but I managed to hold off. This also allowed me to not get used to the V-D cables. SO, I had this step function switching from prev cables to V-D & I could directly assess if I had made a good choice or not. Believe me the V-D cables had to impress me otherwise they were going right back!).
You know that you have new cables so don't listen for 2-3 days after break-in initiation. Thereafter merely listen casually as you know the cables are breaking in. Why do you need to be compulsive??
