Want to buy an Audio Dharma cable cooker


Hello, I'm thinking of buying an Audio Dharma cable cooker. I'm looking for any comments on it, especially from people that own one. Thanks! Sincerely, Stan

I have owned a Cable Cooker for a few years. Very good investment. The cost is about that of a good interconnect and gives you the ability to always keep your cables at there peak.

Playing music from CD players really doesnt draw enough to properly break in interconncets.
The Cooker puts a deep signal thru them which allows them to perform at there best.

You would be surpised how many times I have used it.
It it great for just about any cable (with adpters). Such as RF cable, SVHS, BNC, Speaker Cable, Power Cables, Interconnects.
Wow! Thanks for all the great answers!! It sounds like it's a good product that has no problems. I've decided to buy an Audio Dharma cable cooker next week. I guess I'll buy the Pro version, since there is only a $100 difference. Like Ozzy said, it's a very good investment. Thanks again and have a great weekend!! Sincerely, Stan
Talon4, I would echo the positives already mentioned. The cooker is a fantastic piece. If you try different cables often, you will no doubt be glad you have it. I see it as a cable optimizer/conditioner/enhancer and use it on a regular basis. Heed Alan's notes about gradual burn-in though. Cables can be overcooked IME and sound a bit lifeless, but seems to heal in time.
Yesterday, I ordered an Audio Dharma Pro cable cooker after talking to Alan for about 20 minutes. He went into detail about cable cooking techniques. He seems like a very nice and smart gentleman too. Delivery should be in about 2 weeks. I think that it will be a big help, as it's a life time investment. Thanks again! Sincerely, Stan
I have a Hagerman FryKleaner Pro and it was an invaluable tool when I was auditioning a lot of cables for my system. It made it possible to get 3, 4, 5 cables at a time from the "Lending Library" and be sure all were at the same fully broken-in level when I compared them.

That alone, made it worth the price of admission in the time it saved me. Now, I give cables a "refresher" every 6 months because my system no longer gets daily use.
