Trying to find someone with a cable cooker in Metro NY

...so here I am now, after " listening" more intently, with the jumpers I made of the same wire: the biggest increased has been in what I would describe as 'realness' - that jump you experience from a live presentation. Using the CD 'Blood Sweat and Tears' : the horns are 'more real', brassier with more 'there' - and the percussion presents more clearly ( sharper) and cleaner; the bass is more articulated and precise, and the soundstage is deeper and wider. Surprisingly, the vocals although are more layered as well, move up and back, deeper into the sound stage. Again -  in a live presentation - the brass, horns and percussion would probably be more prevalent than the voice (abit unbalanced since the blare of as horn or the strike of of a cymbal, the kick of a bass drum "blurt" themselves completely seperate in volume and punch of a vocal) and I find the music is presented this way - but the bass guitar continues integrated, present yet not necessarily calling attention to itself. Guitar solos and certain elements within the music are 'accentuated' by the recording engineer - and as I had stated in as previous entry - there is more "realness" to the recording... This realness I refer to are not quite the same as the realness presented in a live performance - but are as 'close your eyes' realness of the "music" you are listening to...
WOW! I can hardly wait to compare the true bi-wired setup when the next set is defrosted and placed in.  More to follow as it develops...

If I purchase a cable cooker - is there anyone, in the tri-state area, are interested in having you cables, new or in use, cooked?

If a Cable Cooker costs more than you want to spend, maybe look at this;

There's got to be a couple of audiophile clubs in a city that big, see if you can find any and ask them. In some audio clubs members will chip in and buy items like this for all members to use. Maybe you know some guys that would go in partners, that way the price is reduced for each person.
Good luck, TISH
P.S. About 10yrs ago I had to go to San Diego for some medical tests, I saw an ad on Audiogon for cable burn in service there. So I brought my cables with me and went to this guys house and he put them on his cable cooker and I came back a week later and picked them up.  Can't remember how much I paid but it wasn't much cause I'm pretty cheap.LOL

insearchofprat when are you going to change your name to ifoundprat? (many of them it seems) It's friggin amazing I say.  By the way I found a cooker at Costco I think will work but I have a question. Should I use peanut or sunflower oil? I figure a light all natural oil will help the transients be much better and allow for a much more transparent sound signal. I figure lard might end up hogging to much of the signal.

mahlman,

"By the way I found a cooker at Costco I think will work but I have a question. Should I use peanut or sunflower oil?"

I have been working on a Cable Friteuse since earlier in this thread ("At the same time, I am working on a concept of Cable Friteusse. If cooking does molecules miracles, frying should elevate it to another level of sound delicacy"). I have been considering different oil viscosities for different levels of smoothness, mainly for mids. Cooker will not do.

Not to troll or anything but I know someone whose name I shall not mention MG who is a big believer in placing cables as well as other audio items like CDs and even entire components in the oven at low temperature for about an hour or two. Keep in mind I’m not dismissing his idea. I’ve tried it. So maybe a game plan could be a couple hours in the oven 🔥 then a couple days in the freezer. 🥶 Hey, isn’t that what the Polar Bear Club does! 

"CDs and even entire components in the oven at low temperature for about an hour or two.......I’ve tried it."

Do you want fries with that?

You do? I knew there would be some use for my friteuse in audio reproduction.

I hope Michael Green is doing well.
