Don't take anything said personally, it's that person's issue, not yours. I've burned in power cords using the adapter on my fridge for 25 years before I purchased my Audioharma Cable Cooker.
Actually, using a large appliance is a great idea. Sure beats wearing out tubes. I just got 2 new ZU event power cords and they are performing beautifully.
