I too, haven't heard any improvement with time, nor would I expect any. However there are some whose hearing I respect, who have noticed an improvement with time. This phenomenon is, for convenience, called 'burn in'. I can't think of any physical explanation that would fully explain why this might occur; but a lack of explanation does not negate what some honestly observe. To dismiss it a 'fallacy' may be premature.

I could try listening to some 35 year old QED 79 strand speaker cable against some virgin cable. But the lengths involved would be < 1 metre, and I honestly don't think I would be able to hear any difference; so with that feeble excuse, I'm not going to bother to try.
