I do just the opposite. I got an Easy-Bake oven at a garage sale, and bake my interconnects for about 3 hours, then turn off the oven and let it cool with the wires still in there. Speaker cables I leave in overnight, which seems to get rid of RFI. In a pinch, you can use your regular oven, but make sure you place the wires on a pizza stone, or in a Reynolds roasting bag. 200 degrees for 45 min., then turn and broil for 10 more minutes. A dash of salt adds warmth, without any loss of detail. Pepper improves soundstage width, but at the expense of depth. Not too much, though. I once used whole peppercorns and the soundstage completely collapsed. Gotta go- the timer just rang, and I don't want to overcook my crossovers. Times: 1st order- 10 min., 2nd order- 20min. NEVER bake a Linkwitz-Reilly.
My Stan Warren DVD Player Arrived Yahoo
Just wanted to let you guys know the Pioneer DV-333 DVD Player I sent to Stan Warren in early December came today. It was ESP also. I have never bothered him before, but I was curious how his back log was doing, so I decided to call him from my office. He was not in. Amazingly, when I got home it was on my porch waiting for me. I then called just to leave a thank you on his ansering machine and he was in. We talked for over an hour (glad for 5 cents/minute). FYI, he is out of his favorite CAPs, and has 5 machines waiting for the order to come in. Don't know what else he is working on. I'll try to post back later here or a new one and let you know how it sounds once it breaks in. He told me 100 hours will get it to 90% and a month to get the last 10%.
