RE: Shunyata Venom 3 burn in

Posted by robss on February 20, 2012 at 17:27:51:
Short answer (in my experience with the Venom 3 or any of the other 11 Shunyata power cords I have used): no. From what you have mentioned I would have to ask just how new (unused) the cords are, and, if you are sure the connections are tight and the contacts are all clean. Also, if you could describe what the rest of the system consists of that would help with further trouble shooting. I just added a Venom 3 to my system recently and did not note any change after about the first 15 hours or so. This is consistent with what the factory would state, I understand. Even in my fairly detail oriented/resolving system, I have not heard the likes of the Shunyata Python CX or Anaconda CX power cords change the sound after the first 15 or so hours. That is my experience. Another question for you: what is shifting about the sound presentation? Is it the likes of the soundstage? Regardless, surely something else is at play here.
