There are people that deny global warming too. Just like a cars pistons, a dynamic, electrostat and planar needs time to settle in to its job. It's physics, to deny it is plain silly. Wire does have tuning properties. It also can carry damaging anomalies. So again, it's just a little crazy to say it has no affect on your listening. This is well known in the electronics world. Tubes, Capacitors and resistors can dramatically change product presentation too. If this weren't true, everything would sound exactly the same with the acception of gain and efficiency. No offense to Tyll, possibly your understanding of what he said is taken out of context. I wouldn't know as I don't read his reviews. I did have someone say to me his review was quite similar to mine and Judes.
+1 on this.
I have always been a firm believer in burn-in,especially with tubes,when I had my Stax rig,and invested large sums of money into Siemens,Lorenz,& Mullard tubes,each had their own personality
Cables seem to affect my ears as well,especially ,silver cables.,and I am currently looking into getting a silver cable for my Elears.,definitely will be a bit shorter though.
