Burn in power cord by boiling water??

There is another method that is seldom used by by us audio maniacs. If you choose to try this please use extreme caution and don't hold me responsible for any possible bizarre consequence. So as a last resort do the following.

Take the stock power cord supplied by the equipment manufacture, plug one end into the equipment and the other end into the AC outlet. Stand way back and see what happens.

Oh ya.....the boiling water. Make tea, put in a generous amount of good bourbon and have a listen to that power cord.

Hey Folks, Let's give this person a break Ha? Now they asked a reasonable question, let's at least provide a reasonable response.

Lohkkw, I have tried several different devices for "breaking in" cables. This is what I found;

:1/2 horsepower Delta router: Made the sound a little "edgy".

:4 horsepower Craftsman wet/dry vac: Made the soundstage sound a little "sucked in".

:400 watt GE high intensity discharge lighting fixture: Made the sound a little "bright".

:John Holmes 14" vibrator (my wife's of course): Didn't do much for the sound, but made everything smoother, almost "fluid like".

I hope this provides some "food for thought". Let us know your findings. ;)

I use lightning to burn power cords (hey, it worked for Franklin). Now if I could only find some bad weather...

Try using some of the "burning glares" you've received as a response to your question...... ;-)

I burn mine in on the fridge using a cheater cord from Ernie. The ice cubes are much better formed, the light does not flicker, and the hum of the motor is much more musical. Oh, and the white wine I'm chilling is much rounder and has more air. There is much greater separation among the flavors...
