Trying to find someone with a cable cooker in Metro NY

As a side topic, I would love to hear a well set-up Klipsch LaScala or Klipschorn (or maybe better yet a restored/upgraded Altec VOTT or similar) played through a nice medium-powered tube amplifier.  I believe I may have taken the wrong path 20 years ago by not starting out with a pair of high efficiency Klipsch speakers.  The whole amplifier thing would have been so much easier by not needing high power and I suspect the dynamics and life-like realism of live music would have been easier to approximate in my home.  I am currently having a pair of SOTA 600 wpc +/- amps built for me so I am too far down the road to switch to horns now, but if I were starting over.....

I don't know what to expect - that's why I'm experimenting with it, before I consider spending a lot more $ on another "guess" ... You/I can always spend more - I' m trying to maximize what I've got.
I don't/won't really know until I install the second set of wires so the speakers are truly bi-wired; beginning treatment on 2nd set now...
May compare single set with jumpers (installed now) against double bi-wires...

"...and lying straightened out on the floor in the stereo room, resting."

Another thing that selectively gets neglected in all these talks around here is what dust will do to whatever piece of equipment is discussed. I have no answer but, if any assumption about cables, fuses, etc. being significantly influenced by direction or cooling/burning is correct, ignoring the fact that dust can negatively (and possibly positively) affect the final outcome seems too cavalier.

I am not trying to make it all seem irrelevant and not worth considering. Instead, I am trying to point out that some simple things get ignored while one could make a case why they could matter.

If I were you and were experimenting as you are now, I would at least cover those cables so they do not get dusty.

...they are now resting under a quilt... Please recommend fluid/s to wipe down (bare wire ends) and insure "clean/ed" connections.

insearchofprat,

I have no recommendations. Someone may have some experience with contacts etc. and may chip in.

Slightly related to this, but nothing to do with cable cookers or freezers, I recently (a couple of months now) bought speaker cables. At some point, I disconnected them. I forgot why but I took whole thing apart. Everything was dusty except speaker cables. For some reason, they seemed not to have attracted dust at all. Just the other day, after maybe two or three months of not touching anything while being mostly away, I tried to clean them. No dust. Amplifier connectors, all other cables, shelves, floor, everything around them, was covered with dust but not speaker cables.

If I could only cover the whole place with whatever those cables have...
