I mentioned what the MIT website mentioned and what Mr. Brisson responded regarding the cable burn-in debate in a Dagogo interview. As he mentioned in the interview, he mentions that only certain types of burn-in boxes does he have an issue with, he didn't mention any specific cable burn-in box, nor did he imply that all burn-boxes do what he said may/will damage components, so if you are having positive results with various burn-in boxes, then it's possible that they don't do what Mr. Brisson specifies as something that might damage the internal capacitors because you aren't using cable burn-in boxes that can cause damage. There are a variety of boxes on the market and they aren't all equal, so Mr. Brisson was just cautioning people with no specific mention of which boxes cause damage and which products don't.

I personally have not tried a cable burn-in box and I just simply let the cables burn in naturally. the only thing that I am personally careful of is doing something against the mfg's suggestions as it might void the warranty. Obviously, what someone experiences is their own experience and that's fine. But some of us are just a little nervous doing something that might void the warranty. For those that have MIT Cables or another brand that has passive components used in a similar manner, I would just caution owners to at least contact the mfg to find out what is covered under warranty and what isn't. If it doesn't violate the warranty and it damages the product with a 3rd party burn-in box, then you are covered, if not, then you aren't. It's always a buyer beware scenario when it comes to doing any sort of modification or using another product that might not tested by the mfg of the product being "burned-in", etc. So, I am just adding some information to give so that people can do what they feel they are most comfortable with. I would only do it if I got full support from the mfg of the cables and that they would warrant it if there was damage as a result, but if they won't, then I just wouldn't take the chances because these aren't inexpensive easily replaced products. So, please don't take this personally. I'm sure if you say you had great results, that's great, more power to you, I would just mention that people need to contact the mfg first to get their answer as to what they will warrant and what they won't. Every mfg has their own methodology of what they will cover and not cover and their own experiences, so always check with the mfg first. If you look at Nordost, they have their own cable burn-in boxes and that's what they recommend their customers to use with their local dealer. Every mfg handles this issue one way or another, so always check with them first.
