Interconnects and non-believers

“One thing I’ve found about interconnect cables is you have to be patient through the ‘break in period’l.

I hear the same logic from used car salesman: “the car isn’t running as well as it should? Hey dude, c’mon, give it some time to break in!!!”

GroverHuffman cables require a break-in period of no less than 15 hours. He won’t audition a design until it is broken-in. I usually cook them for over a day prior to listening to them (listening to his unbroken-in cables one tends to hear dynamically and frequency constricted sound, often bright). Speakers need breaking in, capacitors need breaking-in, cartridges need breaking-in, who doesn’t believe that? So do other components mechanical and electrical.

To achieve power purity, where I live in California, all one has to do is install a solar or wind generation system with adequate battery storage, adequate to get off the grid. Much cheaper than a power plant but more than the Japanese enthusiast who hooked up to the utility pole (which could be sending contaminated power anyway).

Bleeds, nice try, but you and so many cable cultists and marketers here conflate ...

You are either badly confused, or otherwise just being argumentative. I'm neither a "cultist" nor a marketer.

You've already stated that it isn't whether there's a difference in cables - we've already shown that there is - but:

The point is: is it worth $12K?

You've made it clear you don't think premium priced cables are worth the cost, and that's a perfectly valid personal opinion. So you've made your point.  Or ... is there an agenda that you're still rather surreptitiously pursuing here??

The need to have ego reflected?
We all live in that moment.
