Re: Cable Burn-in Question

Here is how I burn in interconnects. I bought a pair of cheap RCA jacks. I soldered a resistor (any value between 20k and 50k Ohms is fine) between the hot and ground on each jack. Now I have a dummy load.

I use a tuner, plug one end of the IC into the tuner and the other end into the RCA jack with resistor. I let it cook for a week or more. I have the tuner tuned to an FM music station, although I have no idea if breaking in a cable with music is any more or less effective than using inter-station noise to do the job.

Happy listening.
