Cable Life
 
Nothing lasts for ever, I get that.

How long does one expect to see from a high end power cable ruling out extremities of environment and similar?

If this is to general, help narrow down the replies.

Happy Listening ✌️

There are very few wear out mechanisms in power cables. The IEC socket will eventually reduce contact pressure as it is wears. That could take a normal person's lifetime.

I have to occasionally flip my cables around as all the music has run out. After a few hours I can switch them back as they have filled back up with beautiful music.🤘

I thought they lasted until a new version came out.

Sometimes, I am my own victim :64714-slap:

I have all the cables I need for a lifetime. :yes:

I do unplug and re-plug all of my power cables, interconnects, and digital cables annually just to refresh the contact surfaces.
