I still use the Duo-Tech CE1000 today, and it burns in cables just as well as the others even though it doesn't have as many features or connections as some of the other burn in machines.
I do it all in the name of music !!!

Hey Wirewizard, I noticed in some of your photos you have adapters for power cords - are those standard equipment or did you make them? I bought a used Duo-Tech here (they're so cheap who could pass it up) but no A/C adapters came with it.
I'm going to make my own - just use the + and the - and don't use the green ground right? Use it on the Speaker selector rather than the Interconnects?
Thanks in advance for your help - I'm a little late in the game considering its a 15 year old product but I'm a budget cable conditioner newbie.
and it burns in cables just as well as the others
Uh....not really. The Duo-Tech was first produced approx. 20 years ago, and had a rather short manufacturing life span. In 1999, the MOBIE came into being, and completely trounced the performance of the Duo-Tech. Unfortunately, the MOBIE had a short manufacturing life span as well. Time marched on, as did the technology.
I purchased a Duo-Tech years ago on the used market, and had it analyzed by a 'scope jockey, who found it produced a rather ugly set of inefficient square waves (as shown on the 'scope). The speaker cables adaptors were a rather nifty idea at the time, even though they plugged into the same circuitry as the interconnects.
Your Mileage Does Vary....but as long as you enjoy the results, keep using the unit.

Just because something didn't have a long life span doesn't mean it wasn't good...it's all about timming, and the Duo-Tech was ahead of it's time.Technology hasn't changed all that much as far as devices such as your Cable Cooker go...and if so enlighten us.
As previously stated I had one of your Cable Cookers, and even though it was built better, it didn't burn in cables any better than the Duo-Tech, in fact it took longer to properly burn cables in on your Cooker.
"The speaker cables adaptors were a rather nifty idea at the time, even though they plugged into the same circuitry as the interconnects".
The Duo-Tech has two different circuits; a circuit for interconnects and a circuit for speaker cables. The principle is the same as you burning power cords on your Cable Cooker through the speaker cable circuit.
I don't want this to turn into an argument, but come on Alan...of course YMMV...you have a financial intrest in this topic and I don't. There is no motive for me to claim either is better, but the same can't be said about you.
Show a little homage...if it weren't for Duo-Tech, you would not be in the market of selling Cable Cookers.
