Just a curiosity question regarding manufacturer cable burn in I never thought about before.
They don't manufacturer cables. What they do are cutting/terminating/packaging (and of course attaching this magic oil lamp). They can certainly get their cables burned in between terminating and packaging process IF they want to it will be so easy. So their customers don't have to spend 6 months (or "having music playing through the cables" for 200 plus hrs) and miss the return deadline.

I would guess that if the wire was taken off a spool, then yes, the entire spool could be processed (burned in).
Some of the more exotic designs (like AQ) that would be unpractical. I believe that having music playing through the cables to be the best way to condition them. I say this because I did own a AudioDharma cable cooker which was good, but it still required actually music time to finish the process.
1. Can you define "exotic designs"? I'm actually thinking of your dielectric bias system (a magic oil lamp without Genie) and want to learn more about the DBS. Where can I find its data sheet? How does it work? Your company website explains nothing but a bunch of pseudo-science.
2. Why is "having 'music' playing through the cables" needed? Is the music the source of Ki that transforms the dielectric macromolecules into those magical electro linear actuators?
What about power cables?
