moving cables

Andy, what you are describing is work hardening of metals. Brings back memories for me when I was a teenager learning about Mechanical Engineering. Anyway, rather than explain this phenomenon here's the first link I came across after Googling.

There's also age hardening but that's for another Google:).

No. I meant me.

Thanks Dev,

I 'think' from reading between your link and what i found, there is a change of some kind in the structure when metal is work hardened.
Of course, this does not support the claims of sonic changes tho.

I can't hear them.

Sorry.

I unplug my cables every few weeks to update my mp3 player with new LPs for work. Can't say it ever sounds any different.

Think most of the horses got trapped now, but I might have found you another chance for improvement:

P.S. I just noticed that this stuff comes from Salisbury! Anything in that, do you think?

I'm afraid that given location and pedigree, I can't comment on that. :(
 
Naaaah, none of this small bore stuff, a big bore like myself needs a Big Bore:

I remember reading somewhere (never a good way to start a sentence) that OFC cable was first developed to reduce bending fatigue in copper cables. It was following this the hi-fi fraternity seized upon the marginally higher purity of OFC and imbued it with all sorts of sonic advantages.

Much the same as with PTFE as a dielectric.
 
Discovered this in the Tones Hi-Fi Songbook:

What shall we do with a floor-laid cable
What shall we do with a floor-laid cable
What shall we do with a floor-laid cable
To enhance its sounding?

Hoor-ray and up she rises
Hoor-ray and up she rises
Hoor-ray and up she rises
Improvement resounding!

Raise 'em from the floor to counter static
Differences found will be dramatic
Really big improvement automatic
Ignore sceptics' hounding

Hoor-ray and up she rises
Hoor-ray and such surprises
Hoor-ray we know who's wisest
Sceptics sure confounding!

Have you thought of starting a travelling show? Southern baptist preacher type style, Rev Tones leading everyone in a rousing hifi hymn praise the lord can I have a hallelujah and so forth. Fundamentalist hifi :)
