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.
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
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
In thinking that I agree with any of these statments. The original post wanted to know "if anyone can explain this thing" and that's what I did for him. You don't have to agree with the theory, but that's what he wanted to know.
