choice of one minute of charging and 2 seconds of shorting are arbitrary or not. But after a voltage source is removed, shouldn't there be no more EMF ( elctro motive force or voltage ) stored in the cable, wouldn't they be referring to current instead? I am probably rusty on this stuff, but it does seem to suggest that a better insulator would be important in cable construction and could be part of the break in phenomenon, but if that is what they are describing does it necessarily have anything to do with so called cable break in. I am simply trying to understand this since it often seems that higher cost cables often are advertised as having break in as an attribute of their "quality" and perhaps a justification of higher costs. Thanks for the link. Norm
