...I have actually listened to the PAD disc all the way through a few times, when I first got it. Very interesting. Lots of wild stuff going on. Lots of curious patterns, tones and pulses. But I only did this a few times when I was breaking in something and needed to do work in the Music Room at the same time, so it was more like background sounds that would frequently grab my undivided attention.
However, just a couple of times through the PAD disc (on 'repeat') while working on a long project really starts to delineate and familiarize one with some of the more memorable (and startling) techniques employed. But that was all a good while ago, and I have no further need for listening to it again. Ever. ;-)

Winston,
I hope you will let me interject my thoughts and observations. Breaking in cables- systems will be incomplete without using a cable conditioner such as the Audiodharma Cable Conditioner. I just reconditioned my entire loom of speaker cables, power cables, and interconnects and the positive improvement was dramatic. I also use a system conditioner disc weekly and yet the cable conditioner added so much moore to the system.
I hope all serious cable audiophiles such as yourself will consider this approach.

So...does the Audioharma unit require 'break-in'?
...."eet eez verry queeeck".
Like any other product, the new wiring and connectors (on the Cooker) certainly get conditioned along with the cables installed, but because of the (greatly) enhanced and powerful signal, it's short work.
NO amount of regular use, even with burn-in discs [yes, the PAD is among the best of the bunch] suffices.
Regular use = you, the dog Fido, and me pissing on the lawn, and then declaring CA's drought over.
True burn-in = a device such as ones from audiodharma, Hagerman, and Nordost. Those are like getting three years of above-average rainfall, to break CA's drought.
My audio friends and I have cables which have been used for over 2 decades. You'd think they were "burned-in." Au contraire. Stick these 20-year-old cables on the Cable Cooker, and come back to us. Then you'll see what true burn-in is.

..... that Uncle Stu sells, if I recall correctly. But he cannot mention that, for obvious reasons, or he probably would have (as I know he really thinks highly of Hagerman's designs.)
And I have an old Duotech model, an original in mint condition.
And so we have outboard burn-in device options, including the AudioDharma unit you mentioned, too.
Yes, some things to consider...... :-)
Thanks for your input.
Haven't tried Audio Dharma, but have tried many, many others, and The PAD still reigns supreme in my book
