RE: Cable cooking vs experiencing the process? personal choice?

Hi Smelly_Socks. I don't have access to a cable cooker and have been burning in my cables by playing music. Have been experimenting with jumpers lately and this is what I have noticed in the past 2 sets of jumpers. First and second day, sounds promising (to me). From the 3rd day on, it gets brighter and stays that way for the next 40 to 50 hours. By then, I would have lost interest and am ready to try something else. Usually give up after 50 hours if it remains bright as it's exactly what I am NOT looking for. I guess I am seeking feedback if this is fairly typical, that is, yo-yo effect. Have you encountered this before? I am thinking that perhaps the "brighter" sound is actually pretty close to how it's supposed to sound after burn in (even if it has only 5 hours or so playtime), that is, it's sonic signature. Maybe I should have more patience for it can "settle" down and get more organic and musical, which are attributes I am after.

Anyone else would like to chime in?

Thanks again.
