Anyone have experience with "burn-in generators"?

I just realized that the LHC (the large particle accelerator built in Switzerland that recently found the Higgs Boson and contains billions of dollars worth of unbelievably sensitive detectors) probably did not burn in their cables! Shall we let them know that burning them in will definitely improve detection?

the problem with break-in devices is that they provide a signal different from a music. thus the sound of the cable will differ after it is "burned-in", with one of them vs passing a musical signal.

also consider the current requirement of the component receiving the cable. burning in a cable with a low current source for a component that has a high current use, e.g., an amp, will create a different result than providing a signal from a high current source.

thus, i have been told to connect a power cord to a refridgerator to burn it in for use with an amp.

Mercy Lord, Mercy

My ICs and digital cable are en route from burn in on an Audiodharma Cable Cooker as we speak. I trust they haven't been ruined. :-)

Connecting the cable to a fridge is a great idea. I actually tried it at some point but found the sound coming the the cable to be a bit too cold. So I connected the cable to the stove for a couple of days and voila! Perfectly burned in cable. You might also consider leaving it out in the sun for a while. All these sun rays definitely have to improve sound cable quality...
