Re: Cable Burn-in Question

I have gone through hundreds of cables over the years and I cook all of them for 300-400 hours. For i/c you can use any source like a tuner, CD player in repeat, even the headphone jack of a boom box, etc. The load can be a preamp or a 10k resistor. I caution against cookers since they can over-cook the cables. I would not run cables more than 24 hours on a cooker due to higher current/voltage. Generally I just hook up the cables and listen as they burn in.
