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!

Oh, I have an answer.

Electrons have mass. Therefore they cannot travel at the speed of light. Ever.

@kevemaher the charge itself moves at the speed of light the electrons are only a vessel for the electric to travel thru.

Some people like to read their own nonsense, shows up from time to time

I use the same Audioquest Vodka cable that you purchased, as well as a Supra 2.1 8k HDMI cable. Here are some things I've learned

(1) Keep the HDMI cable being used for I2S as short as possible; I noticed difference between a .75 meter and a 3 meter that I was using for video (both were Supra 2.1 HDMI cables)

(2) I got incremental improvement going from the $100 Supra to the $350 Vodka 8k/10k. I only bought the Vodka because I got a $600 cable for $350 at Axpona.....which is probably overkill. IMO there is no need to go crazy on I2S cables.

@roxy1927 I bet you wouldn't be able to tell in a blind test broken in or not.  Or maybe not.  wink

Where is that geoffkait guy?  I bet he could clear this up. He seemed to know everything...
