Re: burning-in real, Cables?

12.79.74.31

Cable burn-in:

Take one fact and ad it to another hypothesis, (assertion), can and do make people believe that the unsubstantiated assertions are true. The standard method of demagoge and others.
As my grandma would say: Half the truth is often a more severe lie than a stright lie.

So what is true: a lot. Examples:
1. Copper changes structure when bend, hammered, machined. The resistens of the material will rise a little, maybe 0.001%. To get copper back to where it want to be, to get the stored tension out of the material, you need to heat it up, this process ia a function of temperature and time. I heat copper up to 350 deg. F. for 2 hours in order to get it "soft". At lower temperatures it will take forever.
NOTE: If the copper is bend or stretched in any way, you have to repeat the "softening" treatment.

2. Copper and copper oxide layer can act as a diode, but only if the electrons can not find a nother rout. This effect will break down at a temperature above 150 deg. F.

3. Others.......

Draw your own conclusion. I can not make the statment that burning in cables has absolutly no sonic effect. I, am not qulified to do that.
