I am pretty sure I have developed the best method for burning in my cable elevators. First I attach a small hook like the kind you use for hanging ornaments on the Christmas Tree. Then using an extra long telescoping pole I hang the cable elevators from power lines in my neighborhood. Birds sometimes leave a little residue on the cable elevators while they are hanging there, but that only helps to seal in the break in goodness. I recommend giving them a good 3 to 4 months for the full treatment and to accumulate enough seal material to help the break in last. I used to locate underground utilities and line up my cable elevators across the lawn above the power lines, but the neighbors dog was providing too much seal material, so I had to come up with a new method.
Best way to run in your Cable Elevators?
I am about to invest in some serious cable elevators. This is really high end stuff. I wont mention the brand or price but let's just say it is well north of $10k. Given the cost, I really want to burn them in using the best method possible. Your thoughts? Also, can you describe in detail your experiences of how the sound changed in your system as you ran your cable elevators in? One request-- let's keep it civil. No need to get into online fights over whose method will work best.
