mitch2, thank you for your comments.
I have not used a cable cooker; there are simply too many things to do in audio that I have determined are of more significance to me. You can bet the first thing I would do if I got my hands on a cable cooker is repeat my experiment with sets of new cables to get to the bottom line regarding cable cookers.
If any cable cooker manufacturer wants me to assess, I can. But, I will vet the product first, as I will not spend extended time on a product that I deem of marginal value. If anyone wishes to extend that courtesy to me, they should expect that I will conduct a similar comparison as I did in the Audiophile Law article. That would be as fair an assessment as the come. :)
One last comment to perhaps head off objections. Someone might say that I'm predisposed to not hearing the benefit, as though my bias would not allow me to accept or acknowledge the putative benefit. Let's be more mature than that. I compare settings, cable sets, my Schroeder Method of IC Placement, etc. on a weekly basis, so if any change is to be deemed significant it has to pass my Law of Efficacy, which states that it must be instantly/immediatley heard, repeatable (i.e. In this case, heard concisely, even if cables are moved around), and subjectively benefit holistically, not just partially).
