I wonder where he stands on 'cable burn-in' ?

Dunno. I may be a pyromaniac but I'm not setting fire to cables that
cost upwards of £20/metre...

All sarcasm aside, I've never heard the sound of a cable change with
time. Speakers, yes. They're mechanical devices, and they do need to run
in. But cables, no.

The sound of the electronics does change though - the Technics SL-PG320A
CD player I had many years ago sounded pretty awful when turned on from
cold. Leave it on for an hour or so and it sounded lovely. Same with
amplifiers etc. Better to leave the kit turned on all the time (except
if you're away on holiday or whatever).
