It seems cables also need break in, warm up before listening to music.
In fact, I have felt significant difference in sound quality when I break in a music CD after playing 4-5 times. It also sounds better on a second play - that is warm up. I experienced this with my "Khamoshi/ Bombay" CD yesterday and I thought I should share my experience. I could hear more instruments, clarity of individual instrument was improved, and I could simply make out I am hearing much more details on a second run of the CD.
I am not sure what is happening here, but the difference is huge, but it is not night and day.
Any inputs on break in, warm up of hdd based transports, digital cables (optical, coax) etc?
regards
phsycological mind set is definitely a great influencer. but regarding "warm up" id be extremely surprised if that were the case. (HDD as well..id doubt it)
it would have more to do with the warmup of the equipment ..especially the amp as most of them have a sweet spot for an operating temperature.

I wish I could be part of a test like that listening to "pseudo" audiophiles saying that Cable x or Cable y sound is "warm" and "spacious" and has more "depth" and has "ambience" and this is what cracks me up each time - "has an expansive soundstage". Huh?!
Hi,
Question - I have a room that is 15 ft wide. By adding an expensive cable, can I get an expansive sound stage that is like 40 ft wide?

I was actually thinking negatively at that point in time - as my FIL came over and I played music for him. I was concentrating on what faults he might hear. Played the song again.
Guys, forget psycho-acoustics, negativity, cable burn in for a moment and let me ask ANYONE this - in a blind A/B test, given 2 cables - one a so called high end cable and the other plain electrical wire - how many of us will be able to tell the difference?

Me, maybe I'm sonically challenged but listening to music over these so called I/C or speaker cables did nothing different to my ears. Choose your equipment carefully, partner and match them carefully and forget about the cables - they are the strongest link in the chain.
