sounds flat, like cardboard.
No dynamics, ill defined, no nothing..

This is when Shunyata say they should be getting to the burn-in period. Far from the truth. It's a long arduous climb to the 800 hours summit. Don't forget your oxygen at 300 hours according to previous climbers. The great expanse should be visible at 500 hours in good weather...

To be honest, I'm not sure if I am game enough to try this climb but I hope to get some python & Anaconda demo soon to try side-by-side with:

1. My existing Furutech 3TS20 Flux terminations (which are amazing BTW)
2. Acoustic Revive Power Reference single core PCOCC-A. (this is an interesting Japanese product)


I suppose the better the dialetric's insulation, the longer it takes to settle...

My Anaconda CX from wall to Triton took about 1.5-2 weeks to settle to its true character. The sound is more 'real' not what I expected. Furutech Flux with FP-3TS862 is a very "powerful" sounding cable, but the Anaconda CX seems more live and has better ambience 2 weeks later.

Although in the beginning it was a slow starter and I had my doubts it would work out.
Now I'm really interested in hearing the Anaconda Zitron vs CX difference although I'm not a fan of the 1k$ price-hike from the CX series.

96 hours constant play

Bass is coming back. Still not as delicious as day 1-2 but better than yesterday
Image is starting to fill back in
Right now sounds like my Black Cat (original)

The digital takes 500 hours to reach optimal performance...no ifs ands or buts and I haven't heard from a single user who disagrees. Hang in there. It's worth the wait.

6 days, approx 144 hours

Bass, texture, dynamics all coming back
Image width is is real wide, image depth is starting to fill in...

I like how you're keeping us in the loop as to how the sound keeps changing for you during the break-in period. Very nice.

I'm glad that it's coming around for you.

This cable is unbelievable. I never had any component make such a huge difference in my system.
Bass, punch, dynamics, image layering, width, depth, and image height are all so much better. And the best part is there appears to be more break-in to go

Next report in a few days....

Terrific! Glad they are starting to meet your expectations!
