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!

Technically the name for the 48-Gbps cable is Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable.

It is tested for better resistance to EMI than other HDMI cables.  It has to be tested with its terminations in place and is tested in special EMI labs.

So my advice is don't scrimp but also don't pay a premium if there is a cheaper, certified Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable available.

Drink 48 ounces of blueberry vodka, then test again and report.
