To add to Nick77's comment, the balanced cable you have is different from the one he has. Breakin will be a little longer, more like 100 hours. Have fun!
Phil you will find these cables settle down quite a bit in 4-5 hrs but i didnt get great bass till they hit the reccomended 50 hrs burn-in. Give it some time and cant wait to hear your comments given your background. They have taken the windex to my system like nothing ever, i am getting such clarity and resolution its mind blowing.
Werd,Are you referring to the idea of cables designed for source components versus preamp to amp interface? Or are you asking if one upgrades or replaces a CD player or DAC, the cable needs to be broken in all over? I would like to think that cables retain at least 90% of their fully burned in character upon a component change.
Werd, one more thought. I just got my new preamp (EAR 868) on Sunday. The sound still has all the basic characteristics of my cable but some things have changed, mostly due to the EAR vs the AA Modulus 3B.
Hello,No that is not what I am saying at all. What I am saying is that WyWires behave exactly like other cables in that they require break in and they need to settle in to a new set of components even after break in. This secondary settling in accounts for at most 10% change in cable character. Not sure why this is.
Phil,Have you had a chance to form some thoughts on those Wywires yet? I'm curious as to what someone with your background thinks.I just got word from Alex that I have a pair of his preamp to amplifier RCAs coming so I'll be updating this thread with my thoughts on them. The fun continues! Alex also mentioned the possibility of a cable tour on the horizon, which I think would be great. I'll be curious to see if the masses are as blown away as the beta testers have been thus far.
