RE: Shunyata Venom 3 burn in

All three cables are brand new. I use one cable on my power conditioner, the other on my digital transport, and the third one on my power amp.

The overall net effect of placing these cables in my system is more mellow, analog-like character of the sound. They seem to somewhat attenuate what sounds to me like a bit of digital hardness in the upper middle region. Also, the cymbal splashes now sound more natural, with noticeably longer decay.

All that at the expense of the oomph in the bass. The bass is now much tighter, more taut, more melodic, easier to discern and follow, but it lost some of its grittiness and oomph.

Lastly, the soundstage shrunk quite a bit. It seems more precise now, but also more miniature.
