Any scientific data on cable burn-in?

Muchos gracias amigo.

Of course not. But Justacoder's link is good for a laugh.

Bomarc, Bomarc, Bomarc. What we gonna do with you?

Just THINK it, man. Don't SAY it.

I understand Nordost is selling its own cable cooker. But if they really believed it works, why not just cook all their cables as part of the production process before sending them to the dealer? The per unit cost of cooking a cable would be much cheaper to the consumer than if the consumer bought a cooker. The resulting product would then have a competitive advantage against other brands. Then, if the market works, other manufacturers would produce and advertise pre-cooked cables (kind of like pre-shrunk clothing) and the consumer would not have to spend hundreds of dollars for the gadget.

This just refreshed my failing memory as to why I no longer participate is these forums and why I seldom bother to read this stuff anymore. There is no scientific basis for the high end. Period. Full Stop. That's the beauty of it: it is what you hear, or more precisely, what you can be conned into, or what you can con yourself into, believing you are hearing. Why not read up on music and study it. You will hear a lot more than wondering about ludicrous "cable cookers" and the like. Someone, somewhere must be laughing as I write...
