In Reply to: RE: Most of us here have heard, or heard of, the benefits of cooking cables... posted by kenster on April 25, 2010 at 15:58:20
A number of customers have successfully conditioned autoformers and other transformers on the Cooker, in addition to various capacitors like Mundorf, Audience, V-Cap, etc. One of the key things to determine is the gauge of the wiring, and the taps (you would certainly want to connect your 'formers in the correct direction).
If you let me know the gauge of the wiring, I can better advise on which circuit the autoformers should get conditioned, and for what duration. Extremely fine wire might be better on the interconnect circuit, for instance.

Hi Alan,
I'm using the Sonic Euphoria passive preamp in the main rig and I would hook the cooker up just as I would if I was cooking directional cables thru the inputs and outputs with 2 sets of IC's.
Not sure of the gauge of wiring but it looks to be in the 20 gauge range...

....how did your Sky's turn out with the Cooking time I recommended?
Hey Alan,
I cooked them for 48hrs and the results were outstanding to say the least, way above what I was anticipating and that's what got me thinking about cooking the Sonic Euphoria.

The Sonic Euphoria has been conditioned successfully....if it's 20-gauge wiring (or 22, 24, or 26), it will be fine. The low-level circuit in the Cooker will handle up to 40-gauge conductors without a problem.
Beyond that gauge (which is rare....only a small handful of cable offerings use whisper-thin gauges), step-down resistors can be used to reduce the current component in the multiplex signal.
Just like your other cables, I'd give the unit at least 24-36 hours for a recharge....perhaps 48 hours due to the amount of wiring.
