Cable Cooking/Burnin

I read this on KLE Innovations, http://kleinnovations.com/kle-innovations-klei-products/essence-gzero-ic/, and wondered what your thoughts on Cable Cooking/Burnin might be ...

Burnin/Cooking Time

We believe that the Burnin/Cooking process can be thought of as an extension/finishing of the Annealing process.

This is a practice that can dramatically/drastically improve performance and has been gaining acceptance from HiFi enthusiasts :) Usually, any listener will be able to identify a marked change/improvement in audio component performance within the first 100 or more hours of use, whether it be a cable, connector, component or loudspeaker.

Burnin/Cooking time is the process whereby electrical signal/charge gradually settles/corrects/aligns dielectric, electromagnetic, and material (metal and non-metal) issues that occur/result during the construction process. These aspects are often and usually found in Cables/Connectors and usually results in a brittle, bright, muddy, non-cohesive sound that lacks the Detail, Resolution, Timbre, PRaT, Harmonic Texture, Organicness, Naturalness, and Staging which is desired for music reproduction. Burnin/Cooking Time improves the way that signal passes through the conductors and dielectrics and it is the resulting changes in signal transmission that refines and defines the performance of the audio cables.

While it is most important to implement Burnin/Cooking Time, upon purchase, routine maintenance is always important, also. Cables/Connectors that have not been played, or left unused, for long/prolonged periods of time, may become stagnant and again require Burnin/Cooking Time.

Cryo treatment is permanent unless the material is brought to or near its annealing temperature as told to me by Dr. Randall F. Barron of Louisiana Tech University. A thousand years ago or so I emailed the Dr. about the benefits of cryo treatment because of all the nay sayers on Audiogon. Less are saying nay today.

For me the sonic benefits of cryo treatment are added upon with several or many additional treatments though the first makes for the greatest level of improvement. The directional alignment of the the material can be seen in the photo. My senses tell me that even further material alignment benefits direction and focus of energy. Material modulation is also enhanced with a much more uniform and reactive response. Tom

Yep..energy is always in a search for a better pathway to ground. Whether energy is riding in it or on it. Tom
