Trying to find someone with a cable cooker in Metro NY

e.

Whether or not cable cookers and burning in cables actually do anything is irrelevant.  What it does do is remove any doubt you have about your system and make it so you are confident you are doing anything you can to have the best sound.  

For the record......Scientifically (and I am a scientist) I don't believe you need to burn in a piece of wire.    But I still made a DIY interconnect cooker just to stop that little voice in the back of my mind saying it will improve things and sound better without having to wait 200-500 hours.  For me it was worth the 1/2 hour to solder a few parts together from my junk bin. 


If someone needs to spend $1000 to make the voice go away I might shake my head a little but I understand.

>>>>That’s a good point, but only in the sense that cable burn-in is fairly well agreed, you know, scientifically, that’s it’s actually the dielectric that’s changed by burn-in, not the wire. For fuses, who knows what burn in accomplishes? The solder joints? The air? 🤡

... One more day in the frig as the dwell down continues... Tomorrow afternoon the wires (and short jumper lengths I made) will come out and lie around in the stereo room, resting (like the recommendation for oven roasted meat) for a couple of days before they go back into the system.

geoffkait: will the treated wires need a break-in period again? if so, how long do you recommend? I am presently running another identical set - so should I Immediately hear a difference once I swap them in?

  Love your sense of humor! Frig is priceless.
