The apparent reason that it is difficult to measure burn-in of cables is because it is a physics measurement, rather than an audio measurement. I would LOVE to be able to consistently measure cable differences, including burn-in. I know that material scientists run tests like the ones that should show something at major universities. I think that a real laboratory could measure consistent differences, but I don't have the millions of dollars to invest in one. I keep trying within my own budget of a few thousand dollars. I now have a TDR meter, and I have compared cables with it. Of course, there are differences. I have done low level spectrum analysis and found that Radio Shack is awful at a 10mv signal, and I can prove it! The AES doesn't give a damn about this sort of thing, so I don't write papers about it anymore. What's the use? I know and have spent time with Dr's: Hawksford, Otala, and Van den Hul . These guys are all PhD's in physics or engineering. Eves B. Andre, of YBA and Vecteur cable, teaches at the Ecole Polytechnique in Paris, I'm pretty sure, and consults about wire for the French Military. My good friend, Jack Bybee has a masters degree in physics and did some serious work for the military, and worked for awhile with Richard Feynman. Every one of these individuals takes wire differences seriously. When I talk to them, I don't have to 'prove' anything. Why do you demand proof? If you can't hear the differences, just enjoy the music with what you have at hand. It is this continual demand on our time and effort to prove something to a bunch of doubters that is why I am replying to this topic. I just accept what I hear, and try to measure differences when practical. If I can't measure it with my test equipment, so what?
