Trying to find someone with a cable cooker in Metro NY

Hello to all...

Have recently been 'exposed' to the concept of cable cooking to improve performance, but would like to pay someone who has one, to do it to my interconnects and speaker cables, each for a 3 day (72 hr) treatment... Would be nice if you are in the Metro NY area, but would be willing to ship to you if out of area.

Would also like to hear from someone with comparative experience (geoffkait?) in using this and/or cryogenic treatment: if results are different, one more effective than the other,  one more lasting than the other, must treatment be redone periodically?

Please relate real-life info ( don't be a second level whistleblower, passing relayed to you experiences...).

Best Wishes to all.

Back to thermal influences on food, electronic equipment, and humans.

Cable freezing, cooking, and simmering.

Most, if not all, of the things that surround us have their optimal temperature at which they perform their best. Ranges of optimal temperatures are frequently very narrow. With highly-sophisticated entities they can be within 3-4-5 degrees.

Why is there no talk about maintaining these optimal temperatures for cables, or whatever else (this thread is about Cable Cooking so let’s stay with that)? Would it not be beneficial to have some warming/cooling device that would maintain the cable’s temperature at optimum? That might be more effective than sticking a cable in the freezer for a day, two, or three just to have it warm up within a half a day that follows it.

What are the world’s greatest minds of audio reproduction doing? Where are the dealers? Where are the fans? Where are the threads on audio forums? It is 21st century. Possibilities are endless. Let’s get a little bit more sophisticated and caring than this stone-age approach of sticking a cable in ice. Cable that goes through the tube filled with fluid at constant/optimal temperature. That is what we need, Cable Simmerers, not Cable Cookers and freezers.

Well, of course, we do need to discuss what the optimal fluid for this application might be.

You missed your calling, glubson. You should have been a writer for the Pee Wee Herman Show. 🚴‍♂️

Moving right along, after such good luck with cables, what else can we freeze and get a boost in performance? 🥶 The answer may surprise you. 🤭 I have more tricks up my sleeve that The Amazing Randi 🐇 🐇 🐇

Ice-cream.

It is probably the only thing out there that works better frozen.

geoffkait,

"I have more tricks up my sleeve that The Amazing Randi 🐇 🐇 🐇"
I felt bad coming up with this Cable Simmerer idea as I felt you would have liked to brag about it if it were you own. I am sorry now but, next time, I will send it to you first so you can claim it. Nobody will now.
