Want to buy an Audio Dharma cable cooker

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.
