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!

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.

I re-watched that video.  It confirms what I wrote:

Complete a circuit, and there will be a slow electron drift on average from negative to positive.  The electrons flow in the circuit.

Now would you like me to correct your assertions that:

Electron motion and electromagnetic forces and energy in circuits are determined solely by the electromagnetic fields generated by a difference in potential

My amplifier shorted out and several photons shot out

My Krell just let the smoke out ...

I’m terrified to jump into this lively discussion but I have a 1 meter hdmi going from my transport to my dac for I2S.  How would I know if the length of the cable was an issue?  Sound degradation?   It sounds great but I’ve seen a couple of times now that a 1 meter HDMI for i2s can cause issues but nobody says what this issues could be.
