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!

Why do you need 8K.??????

Most important thing with a cable is the sheathing.  There are plenty of other opportunities to waste money on audio gear the HDMI cable is not one of them.

Landscape look very carefully as to the data flow requirements going across the cable and you'll see that for audio it's minimal and for video it's far far far away from 8K.

It's not rocket science

If you hit it with a hammer and threaten the cable with more punishment, it breaks in almost immediately.

@muvluv light doesn’t travel thru copper wires. With your level of expertise in this field you should keep your thoughts to yourself.

Not in this car, although some years back I had a 1972 GTO that had many options electric windows rear window, D fogger blower tinted glass AMFM with a console and factory eight track mounted to the console same colour of course matching the dash and console school bag brown I called it or sandal really. The sound system was more expensive as an option than a person upgrading to 455 requiring the 12 bolt differential can you imagine?
