I tested this theory by constructing two identical powercords using DHLabs cable. Using an adapter I ran my refrigerator on one cable for a week. I marked the one that was broken in with a tape on its male connector as "A", the other one as "B".Then I had both powercords plugged in to a power conditioner strip. By blindly switching between the powercords, and playing tracks that I was familiar with, I was able to pick out the broken in cord ("A") about 80% of the time correctly (a lot depended on the music being played). I also wrote down my impressions. The broken-in cord sounded smoother with better bass definition and top end extension. The un broken-in cord ("B") sounded more congested and aggresive.
I am convinced that this is a real phenomenon.
