Audiodharma Cable Cooker anyone share experiences?

Hi Sean the Dharma cannot be used with networked cables because it also outputs a DC component which of course would trash the network's inductors; Mr. Bruce Brisson Pres. of MIT told me this info. personally.

Bob......some corrections to your statement.

I don't know where Mr. Brisson obtained his information, but the Cable Cooker does NOT put out *any* DC component in its multiplex signal. Period. The Cooker puts out a high-voltage, high-current, steady-state signal in addition to a swept square wave covering the audio band.

It may be that the capacitors in the MIT boxes are shorting the Cable Cooker at higher frequencies, causing the Cooker's power supply to immediately shut off. This is a built-in safety feature of the power supply. If it sees something it doesn't like (like a current or voltage aberration), it shuts off. Also, there would be NO damage whatsoever to the cabling.

Two Cooker customers had this occur to their MIT cabling. The LED's on the Cooker "blinked", as the unit simply didn't operate. They reinstalled the cabling into their systems and everything worked just fine. Unfortunately, no further conditioning could take place. Owners of Transparent cabling have no problem with the Cooker, nor does the Cooker have any problem conditioning Transparent Audio cabling. The LCR networks seem to benefit from Cooking, as do the cables.

Highly reccommened !!!. I have been burning in Cables for a few days now on my new Cable Cooker.

I own Acoustic Zen Silver,HMS,Zu,Electraglide Signature, Kimber Select and various other interconnects.
I have also burned in Power Cords from Electraglide Fatboy, Zu, Synergistic, JPS,Whale Elite.

All of these cables were burned in for 24 hours and the difference is night and day ...Outstanding!!!

Just for the heck of it I also burned in some RG6 cable for my Sattelite and Cable and the Picture quality is like I added a Amplifier !!!
I am really impressed !

Oz very interesting - never occurred to me that coax could be enhanced!
Alan I must have had the Dharma confused with DuoTech - that's apparently the one that kills MIT cables. I know he wasn't referring to the Nordost unit, although that might present complications as well (or not?).

The Audiodharma is one of those "components" that I would suggest everyone own. I was impressed, greatly... I now make cooking standard on some Virtual Dynamics products. Do yourself a favour, take the leap, this is one of those improvements "anyone" would call dramatic and be able to hear the obvious difference. I invested in one and have heard the result! I now understand there is no other way to get optimal performance from a cable. Expect more, you will not be disapointed. Great job Alan!
