Just reality. Paying a token sum to someone who just wants to help a fellow audiophile is one thing....................But people were saying $200 to burn a cable! Thats when the scammers come out.
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.

...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 a Cable Cooker costs more than you want to spend, maybe look at this; https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9hj8c-hagerman-frykleaner-tweaks |
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 |
