...back in the days when I was reviewing I always put cables on my Duo-Tech Cable Enhancer for 24 hours before listening to them.
I don't know if it's still available but there have been warnings about using this type of cable cooker on cables with network boxes.
Follow Ups:
The Duo-Tech was built for a couple of years but stopped production sometime in 1990 or 1991. MIT is the brand that eschews its use with their cables.
It's amusing that the term "cable cooker" has become a generic product name like Kleenex or Xerox....I only wish I received royalties for it. :--}
The audiodharma Cable Cooker (the name I created in 1999) is still going strong and works exceedingly well with Transparent, MIT, Fidel Arts, and any other cabling that uses a network box. Just an FYI.
Another FYI....Luminator (here on AA) has posted his positive experiences with these cables a number of times here on AA and the Cable Asylum. You can call up his posts via an archive search.
Excuse my ignorance but did you mean to say cable cookers or cables? The reason I ask is I don't see a cable brand the OP mentioned or that anyone mentioned in this subthread either. Just an inquiring mind wanting to know. When I have spare ducks I will buy your cooker. That may be some time.
Several close friends have recommended them. One even offered to cook my cables. I wouldn't want to go w/o them too long and he is 100 miles away. One of these years I will coordinate it with a vacation week or something.......
Lummy has extensive experience Cooking various models of MIT cables, along with many other brands. The reference in the other post was to cables "with network boxes". He has posted links to his blog several times, and recently did so again.
Probably best if he responds directly, if I haven't answered your question adequately.
My audiodharma Cable Cooker's board is being retrofitted with fuses. So for now, I am actually not reviewing a cable. Without any cables to review, I have been wearing the DJ hat. As some of you know, people ask me for popular music suggestions. Two audiophiles just thanked me for David Foster's duet with Olivia Newton-John, "The Best Of Me;" and Journey's "Why Can't This Night Go On Forever." Apparently, their guests loved these songs, and gasped in wonder, why they had never heard them before.Go to my homepage. For now, you will find posts about the Simaudio 750D. But go beyond those posts, and you'll find years and years of posts covering audio and video cables. All since the mid-00s have been properly conditioned on, at a minimum, the Cable Cooker. Said Cooker has also been the subject of a few posts.
I've had this particular Cable Cooker since 2003. Since then, it has treated thousands of interconnects, speaker cables, bi-wire jumpers, AC outlets, phono cables, internal tonearm wiring, video cables, digital cables, powercords, and raw wire.
In all these years, the only products which could not be Cooked were Tara Labs' ISM Power Screens. In this case, there was NO damage to either the product or the Cooker; the Cooker merely does not pass signal.
The Cable Cooker should be considered mandatory for not just conventional cables, but networked MIT and Transparent Audio cables.
Here on AA, go to the Product Reviews section. Then click on the Cable hyperlink. You'll find everyone's reviews. Mine are buried amongst them. As of this writing, I have written 7 reviews of MIT products, all of which have been treated and transformed by the Cable Cooker.
