They never get Cooked.
What about Mic cable and all the wiring in Studios?
Come on!

A number of manufacturers are using the Cable Cooker to pre-condition large spools of hook-up wire, speaker cabling, and of course power cabling. A few manufacturers are using one or two units to pre-condition fully assembled speaker cables, power cables, and even line conditioners. More are coming on-line as word gets out.
I have one studio engineer in California who conditions the 8-channel "snakes" in his studio, but he has to do one snake at a time (since there is only one set of XLR's on the Cooker). He once measured the length of one of these channels, from the desk through the various rooms & recording stations, including break-out boxes and connectors, and back to the console....approx. 2400 feet of cabling. Not bad!
For tonearm wiring and phono cables, there is an adaptor I make just for that purpose.
I hope this information has been helpful.
Manufacturer's should be able to offer both cooked and "standard" product with a premium on the
cooked version. An extra week or so around the plant shouldn't slow sales or eat up much extra
labor costs that the premium doesn't cover.
There's certainly a market for it and for audiophiles it'd be cheaper than buying a cooker and more
convenient than sending cables out for cooking.
I know I'd pay a premium for it from the get go.
Is there a market for selling cookers to manufacturers?

It's easier time-wise for the manufacturer to simply Cook all the cables (via daisy-chaining) and send them out to customers and dealers....for just about all of them, it's not an upcharge, but goodwill, as the manufacturers already know that the pre-conditioned cable greatly outperforms the stock. For quite a number of manufacturers, they've been providing this for many years. Some advertise the fact, some don't.

The primary benefit to owning a Cooker is that it's not just for new cabling....all cables retrograde in performance (it's physics) and require what I call "a recharge" every several months. It's been proven out thousands of times, and every Cooker owner can verify this. Just ask Lummy (the Luminator) on this forum. You can hear the difference in just a few notes.
And oddly enough, most of my sales are to individuals around the world, plus a good number of dealers and manufacturers. For the first few years, this surprised me, as I thought for certain audiophile clubs and friends would purchase a unit, sharing the cost. That made good sense to me. But over time I've been quite surprised, as this rarely occurs. Most Cooker owners use the unit on a regular basis, as I recommend those recharges at least every six months.

Very nice of you to say.

Quite so, all over the world.
