Anyone have experience with "burn-in generators"?

i have it. the problem with it and other such devices is that cable performance will differ from the usualm method--feeding a musical signal.

i have found that the frequency response is affected by the burn in devices.

i have noticed a slight attenuation in the treble and a slight softening of bass frequencies.

if you do use a break-in device, make sure to feed the cable or component music for at least a week.

perhaps you can find one used somewhere, if you wish to purchase one.

another approach is the purist audio break-in disc, which i also have. its a cd that you play three times. i can't vouch for its effectiveness, compared to the fry baby.

Thanks Mrtennis ...

Sounds like you're not thrilled (with FryBaby). I just put new IC's on today (from Anti-Cable). All is sounding pretty good, but would like to really know what I've bought before the estimated 500 hour normal break-in is complete. Trials & tribulations of the audio quest, I guess.

No personal experience with the "Burn-in-generator". I do not think that I would use one anyway. You should Know within two weeks if you like the cable or not. What you get with more time is a refinement of the basic cable qualities. In other words, if the cable sounds good and makes a positive contribution to your system, it will only get better. How much better will vary from system to system and much of the perceived improvement will be very personal to the listener.

I would prefer to break in cables with a break in cd or use the repeat function on your cd player.

I've had a Hagerman "Frykleaner Gold" for years and wouldn't be without it. Neither, it seems, would my audiobuddy friends, who have borrowed it a lot :-)
