Morrow, like many others, have "a theory" about cable conditioning. And they put forth what they think works for their designs. This on / off approach supports their theory. And they don't use a Cable Cooker, no different than other cable makers who create their own theories.

To me, this on / off approach simply lengthens the time needed to properly condition a given cable. In comparison, the audiodharma Cable Cooker is providing a high-current, high-voltage STEADY-STATE signal together with a swept square wave that subjects the conductors and dielectric materials to a level and depth of signal that those materials NEVER see in a music system....that's just one of the many reasons the multiplex signal is so effective.

In short, using such an on / off strategy along with the Cable Cooker's output signal will only make the conditioning process take longer. That's a time-waster. I've had a few inquiries over the years from new Cable Cooker owners about this very methodology, and answered those inquiries the very same way. I also suggested that they do a direct comparison....one cable using this on / off theory, a 2nd cable using my suggested conditioning times (dependent on wire gauge and amount of dielectric materials)....in every case, I was told that the cables treated per my recommended methodology sounded much better, right of the bat. No surprise to me.
