Hey Rich,
Yes, and it applies also to power cables & especially solid core interconnects...
Solid core is more susceptible than stranded... if the cable is flexible, it is less prone for reconditioning or "re-settling"...
I wish I had an equation to explain this, but I don't... just my 1st hand experience with this phenomenon...
Also, if you get a "kink" in your cables (especially solid core IC's), they may never "recover" fully...
Don't get the "bends" or worse yet, the "kinks"...
My $0.02,
Pete
