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!

My amplifier shorted out and several photons shot out.

First I let the cable settle in...get comfortable in it’s new setting.  Then I introduce it to the family. Only then do I actually plug it in.

You won't ever get any consensus here, but if you don't hear a distinct improvement for that kind of money, I would return them if possible-certainly wouldn't wait for the sound to change and burn your return period. Trust your ears as they say.

Gee, I thought I would get a simple answer for a specific cable that is known. Like 50, 100, 150 hours like an amp. And why would it have arrows when there is no difference in direction. There is even no bling in that.
