Old Cables

Assuming the previous owners didn't mangle, corrode, or damage those audiophile cables from the 80s and 90s, you can breathe new life into them, by using a cable burn-in device.

We didn't get our Cable Cooker until 2003. What was the first product we stuck on the Cooker? Identical 1-meter pairs of Kimber PBJ. You should have seen the other 5 audiophiles uncontrollably spew curses and "OMGs." Some of the used PBJs had been, at that point in time, used for a decade. We thought they were burned-in. Wrong. The Cable Cooker vanquished much of the grain, haze, smearing, and hash.

The oldest MIT products I've Cooked are the Digital Reference and MI-350 EVO Shotgun, both of which hailed from the mid-90s.

My Cooker has also been used to treat AQ and Monster products from the late-80s. After being Cooked, these old products turned out to be way better than anyone could have imagined.
