RE: Valhalla Speaker Cables From Ali Express

Hi Mick,
I too heard some promising sound characteristics from the cable but as I stated in my earlier post, sound was muted to begin with when I first connected the cables to my stereo system. Right now, it seems something is going on with the cable after I have been using it connected to a receiver (Onkyo) in my TV room. Let me explain.
I am no believer of cable "burn in" before, but the Fry Kleaner changes that when I first tried it on my phono cables. I found that the most distinctive transformation before and after "cooking" a cable is the increase in intensity (volume level)in perceived loudness. When I first hooked up the Valhalla SC to my HT/TV rig, listening position about 4 meters from the Main L&R channels (set to BIG in my receiver config), volume setting was set to 61 on the receiver for intelligible sound pressure level. After a week, it was at 56 of which I feel the same sound pressure.
So, assuming I am not imagining things, some transformation is ongoing in the cable(I hope it is not length) that affects its properties to conduct or form magnetic fields of flux (Right Hand Rule of current flow in relation to magnetic field negates the misconception of directional cables). I think it's the dielectric properties of the materials surrounding the wires.
I will keep on cooking the cables and see where it will take me, then I will cook it some more with the Fry Kleaner and when I am done, I expect to be surprise.
