How long for an HDMI cable to break in.

@richardbrand  my Krell ksa 300s let the magic white smoke out also, but my old Carver let out more than white smoke, it actually shot out a 2'  flame. The Krell just burned something up in the soft start board.

I’m done I’ve proved my point, cables don’t make much of a difference unless the equipment is poorly made 

@muvluv Thank god. Now we can end this thread you helped make stupider.  

@toddalin 

I just installed an 35 foot 8K cable

Your webpage shows the supplier can go to 100-ft long 8K cables, but all the ones above 35-ft are fibre-optic.  Yours is the longest copper-based one. Makes sense to me.

I could/should have used 30 feet, and it would have been ~$11 cheaper.  But I figured once run through the wall, better a bit too long than too short.  Shouldn’t be a difference in the picture quality so long as it works.
