[quote]Could very well be, PingPing....good insight. And another reason NOT to perform the on/off conditioning method. If indeed magnetic effects are contributing to bad sound, then it makes good (and better) sense to fully condition a cable (such as what the Cable Cooker can do) rather than start-and-stop the process. [quote]By on/off, my thoughts are, leave the cables connected and turn the cooker OFF then after about 2hrs turn the cooker back ON and continue the cooking process for about 10hrs, and so on... hopefully, this will negate any magnetic effects that might creep into the cooking process.

Firstly, you are presuming that "magnetic effects" are occurring, and that those are "bad". Neither of us knows if that is true. There are, of course, electromagnetic "effects" occurring through all wires, as current travels down those wires. With power cables, it's much stronger, and that "halo" of electromagnetic energy is measurable.
But these electromagnetic "effects" will occur regardless....turning off the Cable Cooker will not stop them, nor will the laws of physics stop working, anymore than shutting your system off from playing music.
Who came up with this theory of "magnetic effects" being deleterious?
I know Rick Schultz of High Fidelity Cables uses actual magnets to control and effect signal flow....but he also uses the audiodharma Cable Cooker with his cables, and has for many years. He's never mentioned this as an issue. In fact we recently talked about his newest technology at the Rocky Mountain Audiofest, and spoke briefly about the idea of combining technologies.
Sorry, I meant electromagnetic "effects" which I assumed in the scheme of things are the same as magnetic "effects" :) Won't the electromagnetic "effects" dissipate to ground once the electronics is turned off? I am definitely not saying audiodharma Cable Cooker although, I suppose/guess, all electronics is affected by electromagnetic "effects" in some way :)I cook my cables using an old CDP and an old 25watt integrated amp, where I can set the volume, into a 10watt 5.5R resistor using a couple of music CD's that I like for this process :) Hence my interest in cable cookers, so, all information that can help make up mind is good information :)

Cable burnin/cookin has always worked for me and I burnin/cookin my cables using an old CDP and an old 25watt integrated amp, where I can set the volume, into a 10watt 5.5R resistor using a couple of music CD's that I like for this process :) Hence my interest in cable cookers, so, all information that can help make up mind is good information :)

Electromagnetic effects have never been a concern to me or my consulting engineers....to me it's not an issue. Delivering the most effective / highest quality output signal, together with reasonably heat-efficient circuitry has always been the goal. Hence, we are in our 7th generation.
Much more important than any theory about conditioning cables are the results. Your ears do the judging. My 3 cents.
