Like I said in the previous messages, neither I or the interview by Mr. Brisson mentioned any specific brands of models that use DC. But i was just cautioning people to verify what the mfg has stipulated in their warranty because this is a POTENTIAL, warranty issue. You aren't MIT, or Transparent, or any other cable mfg that sells cables with these components and I don't think you should be speaking on behalf of the mfg in terms of what is and isn't covered in their mfg's warranty. Mr. Brisson or MIT's site doesn't specify what cable cookers are covered and what aren't. They just mention to avoid using them. I know that they probably haven't updated that portion of their website, since it's been there for a long time, and maybe MIT hasn't verified every product they make with every cable cooker product, because they probably don't have time to do so. Personally, I think each mfg of these types of products SHOULD mfg cable cookers and offer resellers of their products to use them, just like companies like Nordost, but unfortunately, I have no say so in that matter. If you are a MIT dealer, maybe that should be something you can bring up to them to encourage them to either make their device that's certified, or to maybe test their products and certify which cable cookers will work and be covered under warranty to avoid any confusion or apprehension.
Now, if you, being either the mfg of the cable cooker or the retail store that's offering to burn in cables for customers, you should either offer a warranty to the customer or at least let them know that they need to contact the mfg to verify that it's not going to violate their warranty, if the product is still under warranty. If the cable isn't under warranty, then the mfg doesn't care what happens to the cable. Right?
Now, in terms of whether the boxes you use work? I can only assume that you are telling us truthful accounts of your experience, and that's fine. I have no problem with you sharing that they work and you haven't had any products damaged as a result and that they don't use DC. That's great!!!! BUT, i am just pointing out what the consumer needs to do to validate that it won't violate their warranty and to find out what products the mfg will approve if they are used while under warranty or after the warranty period has experied. In your other messages, you didn't specify that they used AC instead of DC and thanks for the clarification because some of these cooker mfg don't get too much into specifics on their websites, or at the one's I've seen. So, knowing that the burners that use DC aren't to used is good knowledge we must all be aware of.
I do urge all customers to find out what's covered and not covered under warranty since there are at least one company, Nordost, that does make their own box that they supply the resellers of their cables. I wish they all have them, or at least when through some sort of certification of these 3rd party products to indicate which can be used without any problem and that won't violate a warranty.
Remember, we are spending hundreds and many times thousands or tens of thousands of dollars on cables and it would be VERY bad for someone to THINK it's OK to use a cable cooker and find out afterwards that it violates a warranty.
