Where can I get my Tri-Planar burn in cable cooker

wow...never thought of that before!

Thanks for the great suggestion

Somewhat similar to Jfrech's method, I've used a MOBIE to break in tonearm wiring, even daisy chaining two arms together, and offer this service to clients.

These are excellent suggestions--but shouldn't manufacturers of tonearm cable burn them in at the factory, especially given how difficult it is to burn them in with normal operation?

This would be good for all cables, actually. Unlike record cleaning, this is something that can be done efficiently at the manufacturer, and given the fanaticism most manufacturers profess about their products, it seems they would want to do this.

The greatest part of cable burn-in relates to dielectric absorption, which will stabilize after so many hours of voltage passing through the conductor. The dielectric will give up this charge over an extended idle time, and the process must be repeated. Given the inevitable time gap between the maker, distributor, retailer and end-user: It would be largely a waste of effort for the process to take place at the point of manufacture.
