I was told by the owner of Elrod power cords to use a refrigerator. He said to leave it for about 3-4 weeks running 24/7. The idea is that powercords breakin from the sudden surge of power being drawn through them and also the ebb and flow of the refrigerator cycling through it's different phases. The fan idea is to use an osscilating fan, again for eb and flow. I picked up an IEC adapter at radio shack. Good Listening!
Breaking in power cords
Can I break in my new power cord by connecting it to a lamp and then leaving it on fulltime? Various threads indicate hundreds of hours of break in time in the audio system, and I don't want to wait months and months for the benefits. Has anyone tried this method?
