Can Anyone Explain This Thing...

I don't know why my post got deleted, but here we go again

Cable manufactures have found that cables require a certain amount of time with current flowing through them to electrically stabilize. It's not so much the conductor, but the insulator that aquires a small charge, and then settles into a steady state.

How can you electrically stabilize a cable with a random current? AC current thru the cable is at random state every second, as it is changing in amplitude and current density. So steady stage that you mentioned will never be reached since even the charge insulator acquire to stabilize itself is changing with the direction and amplitude of current.

Cables will continue to improve in sound or picture quality over a period of several weeks.

If that is true, then what guaranty do you have the change will be for the better. How do you know the cable breakin will stop at its optimum performance? May be the cable will continue to pass its optimum performance stage, and then change for worse.

If you believe in the benefits of cable breakin, you should also believe the negative aspect of it. You can't have it both ways

This is the same reason amplifiers, preamplifiers and CD players also require an adjustment period.

I hope you are not putting cables in the same class as amps, preamps and CD players. One is a passive component and the others are active. So there is a difference
