Cable cooking vs experiencing the process? personal choice?

I have heard cables change in character as they go from brand new to broken in.
Some experiences were annoying, some enlightening.

I personally like to hear a new out of the box cable as is.
The sound may not be perfect, (though sometimes it is pretty nice, and sometimes it is terrible LOL) but it certainly lets me experience the original sound. Plus follow the changes as the cable breaks in.

Nothing wrong with having a box break in a cable for one, but I really like to hear the original sound, and after. The knowledge gained is worth the few days of cringe.. (and the maybe not so great sound)

Anyone else feel the same?
Or is your listening time to limited to bother? Or some other reason you do not like to listen to new cables?

I mention this as I have a new cable on the way... And plan on enjoying the 'new to broken in' experience all over again. I think it helps me to understand cables better.. and enjoy my 'history' with them.
