Info, please, on power cord burn-in


How do I short the female end of my power cord when I'm conducting a burn-in ? I've heard of running a wire from one slot to the next, but what kind of wire, and must it run continuously from one slot to the others ? Specifics, please. Thanks very much.

Better yet, save yourself about $15 (definitely available below the list price) and buy this, commonly available at most electronic supply stores, which is exactly the same thing but not marketed to audiophiles who are willing to pay ridiculous prices:

I'd recommend the refrigerator as it has done more to burn in cords (even ones that have been on equipment for a few years) effectively than anything else I've used. I'd be prepared to leave it on your refrigerator (even if it's a newer model, energy star compliant, blah, blah, blah) for a couple of weeks.
