Go to a concert on a Saturday with that money instead of rubbing your earlobes with some snake oil.
Burn your power cables in PROPERLY with Haglabs Frycorder
I have thousands of hours on my Nordost Heimdall2 power cables. And I put in new Gigawatt inwall wiring over 12 months ago, so hundreds if not thousands on that.
I now know I (and probably most audiophiles here) never had my power cables or power lines burned in, not even close. Because this cheap $300 product by Hagerman Audio Labs, the Frycroder2, has blown me away with only 18 hours on it so far.
A little box you just plug into the end of each power cable. It creates a series of oscillating waveforms, supposedly it burns in the power line all the way back to the first utility transformer.
Who knows if that's true, but already there is a large reduction in hash and grain, more black background e.t.c all the usual subtle things you get with burn in, but seemingly amplified 10x than normal.
I'm going to give each power cable at least 48hrs, so will take a 2 weeks to do and get a full picture after that, but already at this early stage I am a convert and Jim Hagerman is a genius.

@corelli So the speaker wire re-distributors (I won't say manufacturers because they manufacture nothing) " Precisely! They are not cable manufacturers but just sellers. They usually get multiple conductor shielded and jacketed bulk spool cables from cable manufacturers in America or in Asia and do their terminating/packaging job in their garage or warehouse. the copper grade and complexity of cables are the most important factors. |
"Engineering must be based on the scientific method, and in these products, science is being disregarded." Exactly! Science and its engineering applications are all based on measurements. How do possibly power cables burn-in? Customer feedback? This is not science... just an excuse that ridiculously over-priced cable sellers came up with. So don't miss the return deadline. |
