[QUOTE="JonnyP, post: 711620, member: 17918"] I think everyone is getting a little too het up about the qualities of different cables on this thread. The thread is about the concept of running in cables to make them sound better. I am not denying that a good quality cable of suitable thickness will sound better than thin lamp cord. The cable, however, is the least likely component to sound any different after 'burn in' as it has undergone no chemical or physical changes of any sort. The 'evidence' shown is within the potential margin of measurement error, and no statistical analysis is used, nor even error bars. That is not science, it is hogwash. Undertake a study with an amp and source with no changes going on (or account for any changes due to temperature) with error margins and a statistical sample size and go ahead and show a theory. Don't use smoke and mirrors - that is charlatanism not science [/QUOTE]
