I have seen real lengthy reviews with song comparisons in certain forums. Don’t know how can placebo drive people’s mind crazy to write page long about a cable!!

Mostly too much time. Or money. Or both.

Quite often it's a thing called money that inspires the beautiful prose.

Could be people like to brag about their ears and gears capabilities, or are selling or have an interest in these items being sold.
Could be they truly believe they can hear differences, could be they just want to tell porkies and be an interesting individual, could be they want more likes.
Who knows. In both cases (misguided or misguiding) it's about a business where lots of money changes hands.

I thought cryo was important as well.

Funny how audiophiles bother to cryo their cables for then burn-in them.

In addition, if we "roast the cable scams", I guess the taste won't be so good at the end.

 

[solderdude]

After cryo treatment is is important to use the mentioned SolderP (TM) treatment to give the cable an organic feel.
A bit like a reverse temperature sauna experience for the cryo'd cable.
Fortunately for Jimbob the entire procedure was not used and he will be receiving an untreated cable. Otherwise he would have to fork out huge amounts of cash anyway and he wanted to save a few pounds.

Plastic /rubber and ovens not a good mix in my experience

Most cables will problably not fare so well in extreme temperatures, silicone should be fine (temp. range about -55 to 300°C), but most (audio) cables have thermal plastic (PVC, PU etc.) isolation and mantle ... probably not ideal if you take "burn in" literally, especially PVC
I bet there are people out there who do that.

The issue is high quality cheap replacement cable doesn't really exist.

I want balanced cable for LCD-3, please let me know where I can find it good and cheap. If I really want it I will just get the official one at 150 USD, IMO it's already very expansive, but aftermarket ones...
