I have heard the effect. I borrowed an Audio Dharma. The before and after on a DIY interconnect was obvious. The only problem was the after was worse sounding than the before! I'm simply saying that this Frybaby3 toy does next to nothing.
I used to do this to burn in power cables, kept them plugged in for a week or two. It works well, each time the refrigerator kicks in there is a large current inrush that is excellent for conditioning cables, and it draws ssignificant current as well. Something like a Cable Cooker works differently, and the results sound different.Perhaps a dumb idea, but why not put inline with the refrigerator. Pretty good current demand, current changes periodically. And, I don't have to run all the equipment 24/7.
Thoughts?
Yep, patience / your brainI'm looking for recommendations on devices to speed up the burn-in on cables (Power, Interconnect, Speaker). Even better if it's something that can work on components and speakers; so far the only thing I've ever encountered in that area are the break-in playback files.
The Hagerman FryBaby looks to be one option that is reasonably priced. Wondering if there's anything else out there I should take a look at?
Great ‘ol school/home hack for mains cables. I too have had good success with this method. Now have a AudioDharma machine so I just default to it…I used to do this to burn in power cables, kept them plugged in for a week or two.
