The unit that AA is selling is a Hagerman Technologies product. I am not directly familiar with any of these units, so all i can do is go by my past experience with cable burning and their description of how the units work. Based on that info, here are my personal thoughts about the subject.

According to the spec's i've seen, the Frybaby does not seem to put out enough voltage to work as an effective means of cable conditioning by itself. When used as a system conditioner i.e. fed into cabling connected as a source to a preamp, it may show benefits to the entire system. In that respect, it could be useful. How useful or beneficial it would be would depend on a few variables, which are beyond my ability to determine based on the info that i have on the unit.

As to the FryKleaner and FryKleaner Pro, these units might be of some benefit in conditioning cabling. From what i can tell, the amplitude of the conditioning signal is still too low and the bandwidth of the signal too narrow to achieve optimal results. Having said that, i do think that these units would speed up the break-in process and do so in a more thorough manner as compared to using the cabling normally within the confines of a system. Remember, i'm basing my comments on the spec's as provided by the manufacturer, nothing more.

Obviously, these are just my opinions ( as is anything else i post ), so take them for what they are worth. Their performance may actually be of benefit to many end users, but on a grander scale, i think that there are better methods available that may achieve better results. Sean
