RE: Just like marriage, Dr. Blank....

I've been enjoying this discussion about cable burn-in. Never did I realize it was such a "hot" issue. I definitely believe in the validity of cables needing to season. It also seems normal that many manufacturers of high end cables recommend 100 or so hours to achieve some sort of settling down of the audio sound of their cable. In my situation, I probably spend about 10-15 hours a week listening to my gear which uses tubes. I don't want to leave my tube gear on for about 10 hours a day for 10 days to simply achieve a burned in cable to see if I like it or not. That is why I initially asked the question about cable burn-in devices here on this discussion board.

Let me say that I GREATLY appreciate Alan helping me out with my cables. It is really a nice offer by someone who is obviously into this hobby of audio and is willing to help out someone much less knowledgeable like myself. Thank you Alan!

David, I don't want to say which cables I'm using because I don't really think it would add anything to the discussion and I want to keep my options open for returning the cables. I think what I am dealing with can happen with any cables depending upon system matching. I will say that the cables are not mega expensive cables. But they are extremely transparent and revealing in my system and a little on the hot side in the vocals and upper extremes. I have sent my cables to Alan for burn-in and will report back the results.
