Last Tuesday I took delivery and installation of a brand new pair of Entreq Challenger biwire speaker cables to replace my single wire and jumper Konstantins, Only arrived from Sweden the day before so no burn in at all. Sound quality drops a substantial number of notches and 80-100 hours burn in needed.
Get stuck in with initial understanding and stoicism, tolerable with all the Xmas diversions but by this morning with no more than 50 hours under the belt getting frustrated and despondent and craving for some decent sound. This evening sound recovers significantly and layers of stress and frustration begin to peel away making the remaining period of burn in manageable.
Hopefully only about two more days or so before real benefits become apparent.
I really could not have imagined how deprived and frustrated I have been. Flat sound, compressed sound stage, sparkle and musicality and PRAT factors all missing.
Audio cold turkey!
