Break in period for power conditioners ?

I have found a dramatic difference using free-range chicken blood, but only if it is broken in first. I break the blood in on my RS beater gear. Golden Divine Supernatural Translucent XTC provides audio quality chicken blood. You can also order a magnitude of highest quality damping factor from them.

Stevenmj, I am surprised that a person so technically minded as you admits to using free-range chicken blood, just like the rest of us.

And using an old piece of RS gear to break it in! What a great idea (I had not even considered). Having read that excellent suggestion, I am on my way over to EBAY to search for one :~) .

I must admit I never knew that XTC supplied damping factor. I only knew about "English Settlement" and the other great releases they did on LP. Oh well, live and learn!

So as not to make a mess on my hands I apply the chicken blood with tissues from the winey non believers who can't get over or accept the fact they can't hear a difference or leave the rest of the world alone because they can. I tried to use a page from a owners manual once but they nearly took my arm off, it was the page with all of the specs on it. ;)

Perhaps chicken blood is a good contact enhancer. There's one Audiogon dealer selling shark oil from Japan as a contact enhancer for $88 a small bottle*. Hey, I have shark oil a marine biologist friend of mine gave me and that's pretty sticky, messy, stinking stuff. The Voodoo also comes in small, expensive bottles...

*I wonder if it's authentic cold pressed like mine or hot pressed...

OK here's the scoop, the skinny, the lowdown, the deal... Power conditioners DO have a break in period. After about 3-4 days, the music sounded as good as it did before. I can't say it sounds better but at least the equipment is warrantied against nasty surges that try to wreek havok on it.
Now as for the chicken blood, it did wreek havok on my cd player. After dipping its "inductors" in the chicken blood it developed a problem in its electronics and has to be sent off to the shop. Therefore I have been without a good cd player for a week, thus the delay in my follow up post. Not to fear though, the true audio God (you know; the one who gave us the music and the ears to listen) has sent Mr Theta Miles to the rescue. He is on his way now and should arrive Wednesday.
