The HDMI cable doesn’t require much burn-in compared to other cables—probably around 40 hours, according to DH Labs.
How long for an HDMI cable to break in.
I've been using an Audioquest Blueberry for a little while and just got the Vodka 48 8k/10k to compare. I'm not hearing initially much of a difference and certainly not $600 worth. Anybody else compare the two? Direction is correct. When I put the Vodka in I realized the Blueberry was in wrong!

On a serious note…I give every cable time to settle before evaluating. If it’s new, minimum of 1 week with signal passing thru it 24/7. If it’s used, normally 24hrs is enough. |
@1971gto455ho Have you got a Craig floor mounted 8-Track in that puppy? |
Freezers don't get that cold. So, you need to travel on reindeer back to the frozen north of Canada, Russia or even some place near Barrow Alaska for cable cryo treatment. Bury it in the permafrost and keep it buried for 2 years. Play this ritualistic audiophile track during your cryo treatment travels to the yukon. https://youtu.be/tzdasXF9H0U?si=E0Gq0ik8TX27WNiS When the 2 year mark is up, retrieve it on reindeer back.
Is it ready to go now? Not only no, but, hell no. Now, your 4000 hours of hdmi break-in commences (as mentioned in other comments). |
