Aren't these broken in at the factory (from what I read)?

Hi there, the Omega XC should have shipped with a "Preparation for Use" flyer which recommends that you connect the cable to a fan, humidifier or other similar device for 48-72 hours. This "relaxes" and reforms conductors after experiencing the distress and vibration of shipping.
We have sold a few Omega QR and XC cables and find that these benefit dramatically from being connected to a fan for 3-4 days. In fact this is a service I am offering to all our Omega customers.
The Omega XC has AWG 4 VTX-ag conductors so the need for settling time is even greater. It's a monster of a cable. 6 hours just isn't going to cut it I'm afraid.
Cheers
