How long for an HDMI cable to break in.

@jijoh123  Years  ago I was golfing with a fellow who had a set of Ping Beryllium Copper irons.  I asked if he could tell the difference between the Beryllium vs the standard Ping irons.  He replied "that's easy.  It's $700"  May be applicable to this hobby of ours. 

There is no "wrong way" to connect an HDMI cable. As long as the connection is made, the electrons and/or 1's and 0's don't care or know which direction they're supposed to flow. You got bamboozled.

@audphile1 light is the same thing as electricity, that is what is used to vibrate a driver so it creates noise 
 

Are you intellectually disabled?

@audphile1 photons and electrons can both be used for the same purposes.

Science says otherwise!  Light comprises packets of energy (photons).  The energy is in the form of electromagnetic waves.  A changing electric field creates a magnetic field, and vice versa. Hence waves form even in empty space.

Electricity is a net flow of electric charges (electrons).  Electrons are a fundamental particle (bundle of energy) in the Standard Model, recognised by most physicists.  According to Richard Feynman, every electron in our universe interacts with every other electron, which of course is a problem for HiFi designers.

Photons do not interact with each other but can interact with electrons -  giving rise to the photo-electric effect first explained by Albert Einstein over 100 years ago.

So light is absolutely not the same thing as electricity!
