An interesting observation. I took my Accelerator interconnects and Precision Reference speaker cables to a friends house to "share the love." In his system they sounded good enough as compared to his Transparent Reference XL's to prompt him to give them a try through The Cable Co. but that is not the point of my story. When I got them home (where they have nearly 500 hours of play time and have sat unmoved and untouched for two months now) the sound had changed. Before I was getting decay that exceeded the boundaries of my listening room, inner detail, warmth and a kind of effortless and liquid holographic presentation that is hard to define. Now the sound is somewhat muddy and the air that reached my 10 foot ceilings and kept right on going now extends no further then my ceiling and then only "just." This experience has led me to conclude the following:
1. Just because these cables are "broken-in" does not mean they are "settled in."
2. You need to set these cables up in a system and then leave them alone if you want to experience the magic of Tesla.
This seems to correspond to what Rb99 is saying as well as my fellow AG'ers but the distinction here is that these cables do not just need break in, they also must settle in. I'll let my cables sit for a few days with Active Shielding turned on and report back.
