There is no free lunch, just put them in
Capacitor burn in, Capacitor Cooker? Need help...
Okay thinking of a new pair of output caps on my preamp, I have changed them before with excellent results.. However they sounded good off the bat, I decided to run the pre with some really cheap tubes for somewhere around 7 days or nearly 200 hours with a load on them via RCA's with Resistors on them to very good results..
And yes they sounded 5 times better after this...
I do not want to do this again honestly, and in this application this time will be pretty difficult to pull off, I have heard of somebody or some other method around to cook the caps on their own somewhere vs. having to run them in the component they will be installed.
Anybody know about this, or any good ideas?
Thanks

I haven't used it, but Jim Hagerman makes a burn-in generator called the FryBaby: http://www.hagtech.com/frybaby.html |
